Phi Alpha
Delta Law Fraternity, International, is a professional service organization
composed of pre-law students, legal educators, attorneys, judges, and government
officials. Phi Alpha Delta was founded in 1902 for the purpose of promoting
professional competency and achievement within the legal profession.
Since the
beginning, Phi Alpha Delta has experienced astounding growth and today is
the world's largest law fraternity with over 150 pre-law chapters, 176 law
school chapters and 90 alumni chapters in the United States, Canada, Puerto
Rico, and Mexico.
The PAD
Pre-Law Program was established in 1980 and in less than 20 years has reached
a position of preeminence at colleges and universities across the United
States and Puerto Rico. PAD has effectively mobilized and utilized its most
important resource... the PAD members themselves to develop and implement
its Pre-Law Program.
Phi Alpha Delta strives to connect its pre-law members with its law student
and practicing attorney members. Through the PAD Network, pre-law students
can gain first-hand information about law school and the legal profession.
PAD is
committed to providing resources and information to assist undergraduate
students in making an informed choice in selecting law as a career, deciding
which law school to attend, preparing for law school, and understanding
the practice of law.
