The UCLA Chapter
The University of California, Los Angeles Chapter of Phi Alpha Delta was first established in 2003 and re-charted in 2018.
The UCLA Chapter has always been committed to creating a diverse and inclusive community for pre-law Bruins of all ages and backgrounds. The members of the Reactivating Class all came from various academic backgrounds, but they shared one goal in mind: to create a place where they could find driven individuals to make strides in professional development with together.
Despite being on campus for less than five years, our own alumni have gone on to attend graduate programs at Columbia, Duke, Georgetown, and Boston University, or have decided to directly enter the workforce, working for some of the top law firms in Los Angeles. When you join Phi Alpha Delta, you immediately join an international network of accomplished and dedicated individuals who strive to serve and protect their community with their knowledge of the law.
