Fraternally, Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, International
**While we are actively seeking mentors for the 2023-2024 law student class, this is an annual program that will grow to also serve pre-law students in the coming years. If you are not selected as a mentor for the 2023-2024 law student class, you may still be considered for future law student and/or pre-law student cycles of the G.O.L.D. Program.
Phi Alpha Delta is the world’s preeminent law fraternity because of our dedication to service: service to the student, the school, the profession, and the community.
It is through devotion to the ideals of compassion, courage, diversity, innovation, integrity, professionalism, and service that we better both our profession and our community. Through accepting our differences we become not just a law fraternity, but a family.
