Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity
Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, International is a professional service organization composed of pre-law students, 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. It is also the first law fraternity to admit women.
Since the beginning, Phi Alpha Delta (PAD) has experienced astounding growth and today is the world’s largest law fraternity with over 200 pre-law chapters, 183 law school chapters and 95 alumni chapters in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and Mexico.
PAD is the first and only law fraternity to recognize the needs of pre-law students and develop a program to help them as they pursue a career in the law.
PAD is the only law fraternity to receive federal funding from the U.S. Department of Justice for its Law Related Education program and the first law fraternity to enter the information superhighway. The PAD Listserve provides a forum for pre-law students to discuss legal topics, programming ideas and chapter events.

PAD provides you with a countless number of inside contacts to help you advance in the law profession.
