Paul Velleman is a Dutch lawyer in Amsterdam and also a member of the National Agency for National Expertise Center Discrimination (LECD).

Velleman is involved in various issues, such as the Justice Officer, who get the national news, among others in the case of Gretta Duisenberg. In this case, he ruled that there was no reason to prosecute because Duisenberg had not "turned on discrimination or hatred". He called the sentence, however, offensive and hurtful to Jews. Also, Velleman was the one who advised not to prosecute the El Tawheed Mosque in Amsterdam to prosecute Islam books that would appeal to abuse and discrimination against homosexuals and women. He also played a prominent role in the arrest of Gregorius Nekschot. He had a double role in this. He investigated the matter as a member of the LECD and also gave him the assignment of arrest as an officer of justice. Politics also moved into the case of Gregorius Nekschot. The PvdA takes the case high, SP and D66 call the detention out of proportion and the VVD speaks of a strange affair, and the PVV finds detention unharmed and accuses the OM of dictatorial moves.

In June 2015, he summed up website None Style to handing over IP addresses of people who might have made intrusive jokes. This refused the website Working
