National Paralegal Day 2026
National Paralegal Day is on Tuesday, the 3rd of November.
National Paralegal Day is all about celebrating the important role of paralegals within the English and Welsh legal system.
National Paralegal Day is a celebration of paralegals and the important role they play within the legal sector and beyond. The celebrations include the Paralegal Achievement Awards, given to the highest achieving Learner for each of NALP’s Ofqual accredited qualifications. This is in recognition of the effort and enthusiasm these paralegals put into their studies and furthering the professionalism of the sector.
National Paralegal Day showcases why our Learners are Proud to be Paralegals – and why all paralegals, aspiring, new to the profession, or with decades of experience behind them, should be proud of the contribution they make.
