As a June 2026 grad, when should I start applying for paralegal positions?

Exactly what the title says. I am set to graduate in June 2026, and am not banking on receiving a TC. My backup plan is naturally paralegaling, but I am quite unsure when I am supposed to be applying for these positions. Every job listing I've seen so far doesn't include a start date.
