ΦAΔ (Phi Alpha Delta), or PAD, is the largest co-ed professional law fraternity in the United States of America. It was founded in 1902 and today has over 270,000 initiated members. Phi Alpha Delta has members who are university students, law school students, lawyers, judges, senators, and even presidents. [ Jung, Heather, "The Three Major Legal Fraternities", LawCrossing, Law Crossing, Inc. 2007 . [http://www.lawcrossing.com/article/index.php?id=2737 website] ]

Statistically, approximately one out of six attorneys in the United States are members of P.A.D.

P.A.D. Declaration of Purpose and Motto

The purpose of this Fraternity shall be to form a strong bond uniting students and teachers of the law with members of the Bench and Bar in a fraternal fellowship designed to advance the ideals of liberty and equal justice under law; to stimulate excellence in scholarship; to inspire the virtues of compassion and courage; to foster integrity and professional competence; to promote the welfare of its members; and to encourage their moral, intellectual, and cultural advancement; so that each member may enjoy a lifetime of honorable professional and public service.

Motto: Service to the student, the school, the profession, and the community. [ Pat Milhizer, “Long Career in Public Service to Be Honored”, Chicago Daily Law Bulletin, November 12, 2007. Law Bulletin Publishing Company (Chicago, 2007) ]

History

Phi Alpha Delta is the only law fraternity whose roots were nurtured in a legal controversy. [ Jung, Heather, "The Three Major Legal Fraternities", LawCrossing, Law Crossing, Inc. 2007 . [http://www.lawcrossing.com/article/index.php?id=2737 website] ] On November 4, 1897, the Illinois Supreme Court adopted a rule for admission to the Illinois Bar which seriously affected many of the students then preparing for admission. [Prior to November 4, 1897, under rule 47 of this court, then in force, the holder of a diploma from a recognized law school of this State was admitted to the bar on producing a certificate of good moral character and presenting such diploma. On November 4, 1897, this court adopted new rules of practice, and by section 39 thereof this court appointed a State Board of Law Examiners, whose duties were defined and the subjects in which applicants [*99] for admission to the bar should be examined were [***44] prescribed. [**654] The rule also required satisfactory proof of preliminary general education, and that the applicant should furnish evidence that he had pursued a course of law studies for three years in a law school or office, and all applicants, other than the bearers of foreign licenses, were required to be examined by said board, and on its certificate of qualification admission to the bar and the issuance of a license were authorized. The petition of the applicants in this case shows that they had begun the study of the law under the rules in force prior to November 4, 1897, and expected to be admitted on compliance therewith. In re Day, 181 Ill. 73, 99 (Ill. 1899) Legal Citation ] To protect their rights, they organized the "Law Student League." This league secured the passage of an act by the Illinois Legislature which exempted the students then studying for the bar from certain requirements of the rule. The Illinois Supreme Court, however, refused to recognize these exemptions, whereupon a test case was taken directly to the Illinois Supreme Court [In re Application of Henry M. Day, et al, 181 ILL. 73, 54 N.E. 646, 1899 Ill. LEXIS 3011 (1899). (Legal Citation to Illinois Supreme Court Decision) ] The League was partially successful in this new undertaking. [ Legislatively, "by an act approved February 21, 1899, entitled "An act to amend section 1 of an act entitled 'An act to revise the law in relation to attorneys and counselors,' approved March 28, 1874, in force July 1, 1874," In re Day, 181 Ill. 73, 99 (Ill. 1899)]

The realization that more could be accomplished by a unified group and the close association formed in this common struggle led the members of the League to seek a way in which to preserve the relationship thus formed. Accordingly, in 1898 they formed the Lambda Epsilon Fraternity; Lambda standing for "law" and Epsilon for "equity."

The founders of Lambda Epsilon undoubtedly meant to establish a law fraternity dedicated to promoting the professional development of its members. Their zeal to ensure that this new organization would remain true to its founding principles led them to place severe restrictive procedures on expansion to other appropriate law schools and to maintain a tight rein on the central government of the fraternity.

In a short period of time, it became apparent that the attraction for this type of organization was of universal interest within the legal profession and that the new organization should be reorganized to allow its benefits to become available throughout the legal profession. Realizing this need, the delegates to the convention held at the Colonial Tavern in South Haven, Michigan, on July 16, 1902 unanimously adopted a resolution dissolving Lambda Epsilon. The next day, the South Haven Articles were signed which were to become the foundation of Phi Alpha Delta. A committee was appointed to suggest a method of procedure. After several months of arduous work a meeting was held in Chicago on November 8, 1902, and the Articles, Constitution, Ritual and Rules governing the organization of were proposed and formally adopted together with the name of "Phi Alpha Delta."

Within a month Blackstone [ Chicago-Kent's William Blackstone Chapter, started in 1902, was the founding chapter of Phi Alpha Delta. See, “Around Town”, Chicago Daily Law Bulletin, October 28, 1992. Law Bulletin Publishing Company (Chicago, 1992) ] , Story, Fuller, Webster and Marshall Chapters were installed. By 1910, the roster had increased to twenty-three in number.

Subsequently, Phi Alpha Delta secure in its principles and purposes has weathered war and depression and has proceeded along a steady, conservative policy of expansion until at this writing there are chapters chartered at law schools in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and Mexico.

In September 1970 Phi Alpha Delta became the first law fraternity to admit women. In 1972 Phi Delta Delta Law Fraternity, the leading fraternity for women was, by joint action, merged into Phi Alpha Delta and 5,000 leading women judges, attorneys and educators became members of Phi Alpha Delta.

The [http://www.publicservicecenter.org/ P.A.D. Public Service Center] was created in 1978 to conduct foundation-type activities for the Fraternity. Its principal activity has been in the area of law related education. Since its inception, the Center has provided an opportunity for the members to teach young people about the law. Funded primarily through Federal grants, the Center has achieved recognition for its effective programming.

The 1980 Convention adopted a program of Pre-Law Chapters and in the Spring of 1981 the first Pre-Law Chapter of the Fraternity was established at Missouri State University (formerly Southwest Missouri State University). Today there are over 280 Pre-Law chapters chartered.

The fraternity continues to grow and expand its services, benefits and programs to members all across the world.

Organization and Government

Pursuant to the Constitution and By-Laws of Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, International, the supreme governing body of the Fraternity, is the International Chapter in Convention Assembled. The International Chapter is composed of up to two delegates and alternates from each of active law school and alumni chapter, up to two alumni members at large from each district, each district justice, each internatioanl officer, and each former Supreme or International Justice in attendance. Conventions are convened every two years, usually in August.

Between conventions the Fraternity is governed by an International Executive Board (IEB)composed of the International Justice, the International Vice Justice, the International Secretary, the International Treasurer, the International Advocate, and 4 Members at Large. An Internatioanl Tribunal composed of the Chief Tribune and two Associate Tribunes hold judicial authority within the Fraternity. All 12 International Officers are elected at the Biennial Conventions.

For organization purposes, the fraternity is geographically divided into thirty-two districts covering North America. For each district, the International Justice with the advice and consent of the IEB appoints a District Justice to serve as regional coordinator and work with the law school and alumni chapters within his district. Each District Justice may have one or more Assistant District Justices to assist him/her in his/her work. It is anticpated that additional district level officers, "District Presidents" will be appointed to perform similar tasks with respect to the pre-law chapters in the district.

Fraternity firsts

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. [”In the Law Schools”, Chicago Daily Law Bulletin, April 25, 1995. Law Bulletin Publishing Company (Chicago, 1995)] 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. [Laura Duncan, “Happy Birthday, PADs”, Chicago Daily Law Bulletin, November 13, 1992. Law Bulletin Publishing Company (Chicago, 1992) ]

Since the beginning, Phi Alpha Delta (PAD) has experienced astounding growth and today is the world’s largest law fraternity with over 280 pre-law chapters, 198 law school chapters and 97 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. [Laura Duncan, “Happy Birthday, PADs”, Chicago Daily Law Bulletin, November 13, 1992. Law Bulletin Publishing Company (Chicago, 1992)]

In addition, PAD is the first and only law fraternity to sponsor an Annual International Conference and a Mock Trial Competition specifically addressing the needs of pre-law students.

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 Pre-Law Listserve provides a forum for pre-law students to discuss legal topics, programming ideas and chapter events.
