Phi Alpha Delta
Phi Alpha Delta (ΦAΔ or PAD) is the largest co-ed professional law fraternity in the United States. Phi Alpha Delta has members who are university students, law school students, lawyers, judges, and politicians.〔Jung, Heather, "The Three Major Legal Fraternities", LawCrossing, Law Crossing, Inc. 2007 .(website )〕 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 PAD. Five of the sitting Justices of the United States Supreme Court are members of PAD. 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.〔Judice, C. Raymond, ''Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, International: The History Continues'', 2000.〕 Additionally, one of five of all Federal judges and three of ten of all State judges are PAD members. Six U.S. Presidents have likewise been members of PAD.

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.〔Constitution and International By-Laws of Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, International, revised August 2010 - http://www.pad.org/images/constitution_internalbylaws.pdf〕 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 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. Additional district level officers, "District Presidents," have been appointed to perform similar tasks with respect to the pre-law chapters in the district.
