Since the beginning, Phi Alpha Delta (PAD) has experienced astounding growth and today is the world’s largest law fraternity with almost 200 pre-law chapters, 179 law school chapters and 94 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. 

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 List serve provides a forum for pre-law students to discuss legal topics, programming ideas and chapter events.
