About PAD

Phi Alpha Delta is the world's largest Law Fraternity. Almost one out of every six attorneys in the United States and Puerto Rico are members of PAD. Since 1902, Phi Alpha Delta has established over 175 law school chapters at ABA-approved law schools. In addition, we have 90 Alumni Chapters in major metropolitan areas. Phi Alpha Delta is committed to the idea that through our Pre-Law Program, our Pre-Law members can tap into the extensive PAD network of law students, attorneys, judges, and legal educators to help them answer those crucial questions about law school and career options within the legal arena.

Phi Alpha Delta offers UW students a chance to connect with others who have an interest in law, helps to prepare students for law school and taking the LSAT, and can be a good resource for getting information about law related careers. Most of all Phi Alpha Delta exists to help you!
