Paralegals will be celebrated this summer as the second National Paralegal Day takes place. Events scheduled so far include gatherings in the House of Commons, London on 2 June, and Leeds’ Civic Hall on 4 June

There will be awards and talks by speakers. National Paralegal Day is all about celebrating the work that paralegals do and the contribution they make to the legal profession, whether in a solicitor’s practice, in house at a large organisation or independently in their practice. More information will be available soon.
