Paralegals' Day 2023

Paralegals' Day 2023

HISTORY OF NATIONAL PARALEGAL DAY

Whether you call yourself a paralegal or a legal assistant, the work is basically the same — to be an essential part of an attorney’s administrative team.  As the need for attorneys continues to grow, skilled paralegals are increasingly in demand. If you’re currently working in the profession or considering working as a paralegal in the future, National Paralegal Day has abundant information to get you up to speed on what the job entails and what kinds of certifications (if any)  are required. 

As far back as the early 1970s, interest was stirred about the need for an organized group of paralegals and legal assistants.  This challenging job involves preparing and copying boatloads of legal documents like wills, real estate closings, affidavits and more, assisting attorneys with cases and trial prep and working with clients. But in the 70s, there was a general feeling among the workers that despite their expertise, attorneys didn’t always respect that work. 

In 1973, the National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA) produced a series of seminars and workshops for people who helped lawyers in law offices. Eventually,  the National Federation of Paralegal Associations (NFPA) brought in about 15 other member organizations, established a code of ethics for paralegals and created a task force on credentialing criteria. Today the NFPA is comprised of 50 member organizations and 9000 individual members. 

Although it’s difficult to find an American source for National Paralegal Day, you can get a specific card from Hallmark. Bottom line, the next time you find yourself in a law office, smile nicely to the worker bees who make it all happen, the certified paralegals.

HURRICANE CLOSURE-8/30/2023

    As our state braces for the arrival of Idalia, I want to remind you to please prepare your own plans of action and be proactive in getting the necessary supplies you and your family will need.

PLEASE do not wait until the last moment to get water, batteries, and other critical food supplies.

Please remember to take care of yourselves and your own right now. For this reason, our offices will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, August 30th, 2023. 

Thursday, the 31st is still yet to be determined, hopefully we will be open and back to normal work hours. 

While you can rely on Google to find some reliable resources for hurricane preparedness, here are a few links you can use: 

It is during times like this that our spirit shows what we are made of—and we are united in both good experiences and in the not-so-good as well. We are open today, however like most of you, we will be spending the last portion preparing and cleaning the offices, just in case.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding, and please stay safe!
