Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity International (PAD) is the world's largest legal
association. Its members include law students, pre-law-students, practicing
attorneys, legal educators, judges, and elected officials.
PAD was founded in 1902. Its goals are to "advance ideals of liberty and
equal justice under the law, to inspire the virtues of compassion and courage
among attorneys, and to foster integrity and professional competence among
its members."
Beginning in 1981, PAD began to extend membership opportunities to undergraduates
by establishing pre-law chapters. Today, there are over 270 pre-law chapters
of PAD at undergraduate institutions throughout the United States and in Puerto
Rico.
The pre-law chapter of PAD at Virginia Tech provides one way for students to
meet others who are interested in learning more about a career in law. The chapter
sponsors a wide range of activities for members, including visits to area law
schools, discussions with local attorneys and current law students, talks about
the various steps in the law school admission process, and a variety of other
pre-law activites.
