The following are some of the recent events put together by UNC's co-ed pre-law business fraternity:

Goldilocks On Trial: Phi Alpha Delta members took on the project of teaching students at McDougle Elementary School the ways of the legal system. With the help of 5 teachers, the students and P.A.D. members created a mock trial of an adapted version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The students will perform Goldilocks' trial in the evening during the last week of April and first week of May. More details concerning the performance will be forthcoming and we look forward to your attendance.
