The winners, who have each achieved the top grades over the last 12 months will be featured in interviews released on the day, alongside videos from the winning NALP approved Centres, and National Paralegal Day’s sponsors; Mindful Education and Barbri.
National Paralegal Day is an annual event designed specifically to celebrate the work of paralegals who are often the unsung, unrecognised members of the legal profession. However, each year paralegals with a Licence to Practice directly help thousands of people who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford legal representation. In-house paralegals also support solicitors and their teams to deliver high quality services to clients, and paralegals work hard within organisations as diverse as local authorities, Premiership Football Clubs and FTSE100 companies.
National Paralegal Day 2025 is sponsored by Mindful Education and BARBRI.

“This is such an important event as it helps shine a light on the invaluable work that paralegals do. They form the backbone of the legal sector and it’s important they are recognised and celebrated for their contribution. Every paralegal, at whatever stage of their career, should be proud to be a paralegal – and I hope National Paralegal Day helps to show just how proud we are of the role they play in helping people access justice at a reasonable cost.” said NALP CEO, Chantal Cooke.
