                               RESOLUTION


 
    Commending the paralegals of the United States and supporting a 
                        National Paralegals Day.

Whereas the paralegals of the United States strive to foster high standards of 
        conduct, professional ethics, and responsibility through continuing 
        legal education cooperation with State bar associations;
Whereas paralegals are diversely employed by law firms, public and private 
        corporations, businesses, institutions, and local, State, and National 
        Government agencies;
Whereas paralegals are committed to achieving more economical and improved legal 
        services throughout the United States by focusing on benefits to the 
        paralegal profession through developing opportunities, incentives, and 
        recognition for legal education;
Whereas paralegals work under the direction of an attorney and require 
        sufficient knowledge of legal concepts to perform specifically delegated 
        legal work that would otherwise be performed by the attorney; and
Whereas the paralegals of the United States are tremendous assets to their 
        communities and contribute substantially to the quality and proficiency 
        of legal services throughout the Nation: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That--
            (1) the House of Representatives commends the paralegals of 
        the United States for their outstanding work and for improving 
        legal services for the people of the United States; and
            (2) a National Paralegal Day should be established to 
        recognize the contributions of paralegals throughout the United 
        States.
                                 <all>
