Our Chapter



The University of Florida Chapter of Phi Alpha Delta Pre-Law was established on April 14th, 1986. It is the largest pre-law organization on the University of Florida campus, with 137 brothers. It is also one of the largest chapters in the country with 129 members inducted last year.

​

The UF Chapter is known for its outstanding mock trial teams- it clinched first and second place State championship titles in 2010, 2011, and 2012. UF has also won the 2010, 2011, and 2012 Phi Alpha Delta Pre Law National Mock Trial Competition.  

​

In addition to mock trial, the chapter prides itself on the internship opportunities, community service projects, mentorship, and professional networking opportunities it provides it members. In the past year, the chapter has hosted a private law admissions panel with admissions officers from 17 top law schools and co-hosted the University of Florida's Graduate and Professional Day, which included a law school expo which over 80 law schools attended. UF PAD has hosted a wide variety of speakers from various parts of the legal profession- from law school professors, attorneys, and investigators to judges. The chapter has been involved with the Boys and Girls Club of Alachua County and Relay for Life to give back to the community.
 

 

The University of Florida Chapter strives to guide pre-law students in their journeys as they decide which law schools, if any at all, are right for them.
