Everyone’s got a “Hallmark holiday,” right? Even paralegals? I’ll never forget The Philadelphia Association of Paralegals’ 2010 postcard for Paralegal Week. Picture the bomb technician from The Hurt Locker with the caption, “Me, afraid?” and the flip side reading, “Nah, I used to be a paralegal!”
Believe it or not, paralegals in Pennsylvania have had their own day, and week, of recognition for the past 11 years. This year, Governor Tom Corbett has issued a proclamation claiming July 21-27 as Paralegal Week and July 26 as Paralegal Day in Pennsylvania. (See http://goo.gl/1tp3N.) Eleven years? Yep; Mark Schweiker was the first Pennsylvania governor to issue such a proclamation in July 2002.
