ΦAΔ (Phi Alpha Delta), or P.A.D., is the largest co-ed professional law fraternity in the United States of America. Phi Alpha Delta has members who are university students, law school students, lawyers, judges, senators, and even presidents.[1] It was founded in 1902 and today has over 300,000 initiated members. Approximately one out of six attorneys in the United States is a member of P.A.D. Five of the sitting Justices of the United States Supreme Court are members of P.A.D. From 1964 to 1968, Tom C. Clark, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, served as Supreme Vice Justice of the Fraternity.[2] Additionally, two of ten of all Federal judges and three of ten of all State judges are P.A.D. members. Six U.S. Presidents have likewise been members of P.A.D.
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.[3]
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.[4] The International Chapter is composed of up to two delegates and alternates from each active law school and alumni chapter, up to two alumni members at large from each district, each district justice, each international 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 International 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-three 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. In addition, additional district level officers, "District Presidents," have been appointed to perform similar tasks with respect to the pre-law chapters in the district.

* Distinguished Service Chapter member
Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, International, is a professional fraternity composed of pre-law students, law students, legal educators, attorneys, judges, and government officials.[6] 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 (P.A.D.) has experienced astounding growth and today is the world’s largest law fraternity with 206 law school chapters, 99 alumni chapters and 305 Pre-Law chapters in the United States (including Puerto Rico), Canada and Mexico.
P.A.D. was the first law fraternity to welcome members of all races, creeds, colors, religions and national origins.
It was also the first law fraternity to admit women.[7]
P.A.D. is the only law fraternity to welcome undergraduate students interested in the law; it is the 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.[7]
In addition, P.A.D. is the only law fraternity to sponsor an Annual International Pre-Law Conference and Mock Trial Competition specifically addressing the needs of Pre-Law students.
P.A.D. 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.

- ^ The West Suburban Alumni Chapter has named its scholarship in honor of Anthony A. DiGrazia, an attorney who was first elected to the Supreme Board as supreme marshal. He continued getting elected at several subsequent conventions, serving as supreme treasurer from 1954 to 1956; supreme second vice justice from 1956 to 1958; supreme vice justice from 1958 to 1960; and supreme justice from 1960 to 1962. In 1990, the Chicago Alumni Chapter recognized DiGrazia for his 50 years of contributions to the chapter by naming him honorary chairman of its executive board, a post he held until his death in 2000.
