Declaration of Purpose
“The purpose of this Fraternity shall be to form a strong bond uniting students and teachers of the law with
members of the Bench and Bar in a fraternal fellowship designed to advance the ideals of liberty and equal justice
under law; to inspire the virtues of compassion and courage; to foster integrity and professional competence; to
promote the welfare of its members; and to encourage their moral, intellectual, and cultural advancement; so that
each member may enjoy a lifetime of honorable professional and public service.”
From the Desk of the
International
Justice
It’s Not About
The Numbers
As we come to the
end of the 2006-2007
school year, we find
that both our pre-law
and law school
chapters have held very
successful rushes. So
much so that P.A.D.
now has over 9,000
new members, bringing our total of pre-law members to 9,153
and our law student membership to 13,043.
The P.A.D. Strategic Plan sets forth many goals to be
achieved over a 10 year period the measurement of which, for
the most part, is numbers because they are easy to quantify
and to track. One of those goals is to increase our law school
chapter rushing to 5,000 new members per year. This goal was
achieved this year on April 23rd just 4 years into the Strategic
Plan when 74 new law student members were reported by
various chapters to the Executive Office as having been initiated
into our Fraternity and their chapters. Our total number of
new law school members for this fiscal year is now 5,156.
Because we are goal oriented, some members believe that
we are only concerned about the “numbers”. Nothing could
be further from the truth. What these “numbers” translate into
are new P.A.D. sisters and brothers who are very precious to us
because they are the life’s blood of our Fraternity. While in
undergraduate school and law school, they are the foundation
for our pre-law and law school chapters. They provide the
diversity which is so important in P.A.D. They comprise the
chapter membership base from which all organization and
programming is rooted and from which inactive chapters
become active chapters. They provide the leadership which
drives each of our chapters. And, as a general rule, as
membership increases so does the chapter’s programming,
which benefits not only our members, but their law schools
and their surrounding communities. Stronger chapters provide
a better fraternal experience for our members, something that
each member carries with them for a lifetime. And, lastly, they
are our future alumni and leaders driving us ever forward to
fulfill the P.A.D. Declaration of Purpose: “The purpose of this
Fraternity shall be to form a strong bond uniting students and teachers of
the law with members of the Bench and Bar in a fraternal fellowship
designed to advance the ideals of liberty and equal justice under law; to
stimulate excellence in scholarship; to inspire the virtues of compassion

CONVENTION 2008
COVER SHOT
Past International Justice Frank J. McCown Passes
On Wednesday, May 16, 2007, our Fraternity suffered a tremendous loss with the
passing of the Hon. Frank J. McCown.
Frank’s service to P.A.D. was long and extensive. He attended Ohio State University
College of Law where he was Justice of our William McKinley Chapter. From 1967 to
1970, he served as an Assistant to the Supreme Justice and traveled throughout the United
States and Canada. From 1970 to 1972, he served as District X Justice and oversaw fraternity
operations in 3 states.
At the 1972 Convention, he chaired the Merger Committee which oversaw the merger
of Phi Delta Delta Women’s Legal Fraternity with Phi Alpha Delta. He was elected to the
Executive Board in 1972 as the Supreme Treasurer. Two years later, he was elected Supreme
Advocate and then International Second Vice Justice. In 1978 at the Cleveland Convention,
Frank was elected International Justice. It was a busy two years and everyone worked –
because Frank worked harder than everyone else. He truly led by example – a lesson many
of us learned from him. During his tenure as International Justice, the Pre-Law Program
was developed and was presented for adoption to the 1980 Convention in Hot Spring
Arkansas – the Convention over which our brother presided.
His service to P.A.D. did not end with his term as International Justice. His interest in
the fledgling Pre-Law Chapter Program increased over time and Brother McCown served
as our Pre-Law Director. It was due in major part to his outstanding efforts and contributions
that the program grew substantially during this time.
After he stepped down as Pre-Law Director, Brother Frank served as Region D
Coordinator for two years overseeing law school and district activities for one fifth of the
Fraternity.
On August 9, 1986 at the Awards Banquet of our Baltimore Convention, our brother
received the highest honor that a P.A.D. member can receive, when he was inducted into the
Distinguished Service Chapter – the 15th member so recognized.
Our brother attended 19 P.A.D. Conventions, with the Dallas 2006 Convention as his
last. Most recently, Frank had been serving as a Director of the P.A.D. Public Service
Center.
Frank truly loved Phi Alpha Delta. He made it a part of his daily life and he invested
much of himself in our Fraternity – and it shows. He also invested much of himself in our
members and those of us who were fortunate enough to spend time with him gained much
from that association. His legacy will be lasting, not only in all that he accomplished for our
Fraternity, but also through his son, Brigham, who is also a brother in P.A.D., twice a District
Justice with a bright future before him.
Those of us who attended Frank’s funeral services were reminded
of his other loves and involvements – the civil war and its battles,
reenactments and historical preservation - the annual Memorial Parade
of which he was an organizer – his home town of Ironton – his
travels - and, most importantly, his family.
Our brother led a full life on his own terms. And while we will
mourn his passing, we will revel in all that he shared with us during his
journey through life – now and forever.
You will be missed, brother.

and courage; to foster integrity and professional
competence; to promote the welfare of its
members; and to encourage their moral,
intellectual, and cultural advancement; so that
each member may enjoy a lifetime of honorable
professional and public service.”
So it’s not about the numbers, my
sisters and brothers, but it most certainly
IS about what those numbers represent
– our members.
Warmest fraternal regards,
John
No es Acerca de los
Números
Según nos acercamos al final del año
academíco 2006 – 2007 descubrimos que
ambos programas el pre-jurídico y los
capítulos de las facultades de derecho han
sostenido un periodo de reclutamiento
exitoso. Tanto que ahora P.A.D. tiene cerca
de 9,000 nuevos miembros, llevando la
membresía pre-jurídica a 9,153 y a nuestra
membresía de estudiantes de derecho a
13,043.
El Plan Estratégico de P.A.D. estableció
muchas metas a ser alcanzadas en un periodo
de 10 años, la medida de los cuales eran en
su mayoría números, por que son fáciles de
cuantificar y de rastrear. Una de esas metas
es aumentar el reclutamiento de nuestros
capítulos de escuelas de derecho a 5,000
nuevos miembros por año. Esa meta fue
alcanzada este año el 23 de abril, dentro de
los primeros 4 años del Plan Estratégico
cuando 74 nuevos estudiantes reportados
por varios capítulos a la Oficina Ejecutiva
como iniciados en sus Capítulos y nuestra
Fraternidad. El número total de nuevos
miembros estudiantes de derecho para este
año fiscal es de 5,156.
Debido a que estamos orientados hacia
las metas, algunos miembros piensan que
solo nos interesamos en los “números”.
Nada puede estar más alejado de la realidad.
Estos “números” se traducen en nuevos
Hermanos y Hermanas de P.A.D. que son
valiosos para nosotros por que ellos son la
sangre que da vida a nuestra Fraternidad.
Mientras estudian el bachillerato o la Escuela
de Derecho, ellos son las bases de nuestros
Capítulos pre-jurídicos y de la Escuela de
Derecho. Ellos proveen la diversidad que es
tan importante en P.A.D. Ellos conforman
la membresía capitular base de la cual toda
organización y programa arranca y de la cual
se activan los capítulos inactivos. Ellos
proveen el liderato que guía cada uno de
nuestros capítulos. Y, como regla general,
según la membresía crece también lo hace
las actividades de los capítulos, que beneficia
no solo a nuestros miembros, sino también
a sus Escuelas de Derecho y a las
comunidades que las rodea. Capítulos fuertes

Hoffman Chapter has a Great
Time Helping Good Causes
Over this past year, Hoffman Chapter held a number of fun and successful
philanthropic events. In addition to participating in the traditional types of charity
events, such as 5k runs and helping at a soup kitchen, our chapter has a tradition
of hosting some more unusual charity events. We have founsd that when we host
more unusual charity fundraisers it is easier to get more chapter members active
in the events. During this past academic year, our chapter has used these interesting
types of events to raise more than $4,000 for a wide variety of charities.
One of the easiest ways that we have found to raise money for charity is to
host a “Party for a Purpose” at a local watering hole. The idea is simple, throw a
party and donate the cover charge to a worthy cause. Our chapter has found that
many establishments are willing to provide the refreshments at their suppliers
cost to receive some free publicity from the event and possibly a tax write-off
depending on the charity you choose to donate the proceeds to.
Perhaps the “coolest” event we participated in this year was the Polar Bear
Plunge to benefit Special Olympics. A few of our brave members raised money
by jumping into a pool of near freezing water in the depths of winter. This year’s
event was even cooler than normal thanks to a sudden winter storm that greeted
our participants with wind chills hovering near -15ºF throughout the event.
Our chapter’s biggest, and perhaps most unusual, annual charity event is St.
Baldrick’s. Each year our chapter raises money for the St. Baldrick’s foundation
by recruiting members to shave their heads if their friends and family donate
enough money to meet their fundraising goal. This year our seven willing volunteers
raised over $3000 to help fund childhood cancer research.

Brewer Chapter Fights
Back Against Domestic
Violence
By, Megan Lattz
The Brewer Chapter and Stetson
University College of Law helped make
someone’s dark night safe this year.
Working in conjunction with CASA
(Community Action Stops Abuse) of St.
Petersburg, Brewer Chapter members
fulfilled their commitment to serve the
student, the school, the profession and
the community throughout the 20062007 school year.
CASA’s vision is a “community
without violence so that home is a safe
place.” Its mission is to “raise voices
against violence through advocacy,
empowerment, and social change.”
CASA seeks to fulfill this mission by
providing shelter, transitional housing,
and group and individual support to
victims of domestic violence.
The Brewer Chapter kicked off
its commitment to CASA at our annual
Welcome Back BBQ on September 14,
2006. Each fall semester, this social brings
together Brewer Chapter members and
other law students for a chance to meet
and greet while enjoying a BBQ lunch.
Thanks to the generosity of AirTran
Airways, the Brewer Chapter was able to
auction off two round-trip tickets in
order to fund an event dedicated to CASA
during the spring semester.
In mid-October, the Brewer
Chapter hosted its annual 1L Opening
Statement Competition which brings
together 1L students, professors,
attorneys, and judges for a unique
advocacy competition. In recognition of
October being domestic violence
awareness month, the Brewer Chapter
selected a mock civil case addressing
spousal abuse as its competition case
packet. Throughout the three-night
competition, competitors and judges
were provided with domestic violence
materials supplied by CASA. The Brewer
Chapter’s 1L Opening Statement and 1L
Closing Argument Competitions have
long been recognized as cornerstone
events for the chapter. These
competitions provide 1L students the
opportunity to develop their advocacy
skills, network with local attorneys and
judges, and compete for a first round bye
during Stetson’s Trial Team tryouts.
On March 30, 2007, Brewer Chapter
members visited CASA’s children’s center
to host a spring fling party. With the
money raised from the AirTran Airways
ticket auction at the Welcome Back BBQ,
the chapter was able to spend a fun-filled
day with 17 children involved with
CASA’s domestic violence support
program. Throughout the day, the
children participated in a treasure hunt
packed with puzzles and prizes, created
their own mosaic flowerpots, ate lots of
pizza, and decorated home-made Easter
cookies. Each child went home with a bag
of goodies including art supplies, candy,
bubbles, chalk, cookies, and their very
own potted plant. We were also able to
donate games, sporting equipment, and
“THE REPORTER” – PAGE 6
other outdoor activities to CASA’s
children’s center.
One of CASA’s community-based
programs is collecting used cell phones
to be reprogrammed as emergency
phones for victims of domestic violence.
Upon returning for the Spring 2007
semester, the Brewer Chapter decorated
and placed collection boxes around the
campus for the Stetson community to
donate used cell phones. By the end of
the semester, the Brewer Chapter
surpassed its goal and collected over 50
new or used cell phones. This simple
project provided the Brewer Chapter with
the oppor tunity to raise domestic
violence awareness and reach out to the
Stetson community.
The Brewer Chapter is very proud
of its commitment to raising awareness
of domestic violence through its
partnership with CASA. These events
allowed our chapter to truly serve the
student, the school, the profession and
the community.

TERRIFIC... TRUMAN CHAPTER!
Truman Chapter has had an exciting semester. This spring we have had the
opportunity to continue volunteering with the Ronald McDonald House. We had a
great time making magnets for Valentine’s Day with all the kids. It is always great to
bring a smile to their face! Truman Chapter also visited the Washington Supreme
Court and visited with a Truman Chapter Alum, Justice Charles Johnson. Both the
outgoing and incoming Executive Boards are hard at work planning for the First
Annual Seattle University School of
Law Golf Tournament hosted by
Truman Chapter. We are expecting
to have over sixty judges, lawyers,
professors, and students playing at
the prestigious Newcastle Golf
Course. We are also looking forward
to hosting the regional conference
in the fall! All in all it has been a
great year and we’re excited for the
one to come!
NEWS
FROM
BEDELL CHAPTER
On Wednesday, February 28th, the Bedell Chapter held an Attorney Panel
consisting of 6 Florida Coastal School of Law graduates (and some Phi Alpha
Delta alums). The Panel addressed real life expectations of life after law school in
the legal profession. Students were invited to ask questions regarding how many
billable hours to expect, what salaries would be like, etc. Moderator Colleen MartinezSkinner (Treasurer) kept the Panel moving along and addressed issues and questions.
On March 2, 2007, the Bedell Chapter initiated 7 new members.
Finally, on March 25th,
elections were held for
officers for the 2007-2008
school year. Rodney Hall is
the Justice, Heather Medd is
Vice-Justice, Joseph Percopo
is Treasurer, and Lauren
Linville is Marshall. Deanna
Coates will remain as Clerk
for the fall semester.

Chapter Reporting
2007 Wine Tasting Seminar
The Hugo Black Chapter at Arizona
State University Sandra Day O’Connor
College of Law hosted a wine tasting
seminar on March 3rd, 2007, at our District
V Justice Carrie Smith’s home. The speaker
of the event was former Vice-Justice, Tom
Williams, who has given similar seminars
in the past, talked to the attending
members about the etiquette about formal
dining that involves wine, and the
characteristics of the selection of wines
presented at the seminar. Tom focused on
the scenario that any of us may be asked
to select a wine during a dinner interview,
and provided us with some simple but
delicious choices to remember.
The notable selection introduced
include a 2005 Voignier from Field Stone
(Sonoma County) which is a spicy white
wine that is suitable for more full flavored
foods. The other was a 2002 Pinot Noir
from Russian Hill (Sonoma County Russian River), a very versatile red wine
with a light red color and a berry flavor.
While everyone was intently learning the
difference between a bottle of Souvingon
Blanc or Chardonay, our attention was also
drawn to the other star of the event – the
delicious hors d’oeuvres that Carrie
personally prepared for us. It was an
informative and pleasant afternoon.
Spring 2007 Initiation
On April 5th, 2007, the Black
Chapter hosted its Spring Initiation
Ceremony. Six new members were
initiated into the Chapter. We were
honored to have P.A.D. International
P.A.D. International Secretary Ronald Winter (Alden)
assists Black Chapter with their Spring 2007 Initiation.
Secretary Ronald Winter as our speaker
at the initiation. Ron shared with us his
personal experience and growth though
Phi Alpha Delta, and encouraged the new
members of the Chapter with the
highlight of our chapter’s namesake –
Justice Hugo Black’s distinctive career. As
part of the ceremony, Black Chapter took
the opportunity to thank Arnold Hirsch,
P.A.D. International Treasurer; Carrie
Smith, District V Justice, and Professor
Popko for their continuing guidance and
support. The evening concluded with a
reception at the College of Law.
Annual Dress For Success
On April 19th, 2007, the Black
Chapter hosted our Annual Dress For
Success Fashion Show at the Nordstrom
department store in the Scottsdale
Fashion Square. The Nordstrom
“THE REPORTER” – PAGE 8
managers graciously provided us with
many excellent examples for professional
clothing and the accessories for us to gain
the edge of confidence in our interviews.
Our panel speakers for the evening, Ms.
Robin Varcoe, of the Law Offices of
Robyn Greenberg Varcoe, PLLC, Ms.
Carolyn Johnsen, of Jennings, Strouss &
Salmon, PLC, and Dean Marilyn
Seymann of the Sandra Day O’Connor
College of Law provided us with their
insight as in the different standard of
appropriate clothing in a large law firm
and a small law office.
The panel also pointed out that the
dress could influence not only an
attorney’s image, but also be a potent
advocacy tool that an attorney may bring
to the litigation. The evening concluded
with an exciting raffle draw with the top
prize being a free multi-state bar review
sponsored by Micromash Bar Review.
Membership Services
Consultant Memo
Submitted by, Ron Winter, International Secretary
As we wind down the
academic year, I wanted to
stress a couple of things
that often are overlooked in
the scramble to complete
classes and focus on final
exams: award applications
and paperwork submission.
The clerk plays a vital role
in both functions.
Starting with the latter,
it is critical that any
remaining paperwork that is
due to the Executive Office be submitted
before the end of the semester. In
particular, we want to be sure to have (a)
any remaining membership applications
with appropriate fees so that the members
can be properly enrolled, and (b) an
updated listing of your new officers so
that they can be reached by the Executive
Office through the summer months and
throughout the coming year. Updated
contact information is of paramount
importance
in
maintaining
communication with the EO and with
each other so that planning and
information gathering can continue
through the summer. Remember that
your officers are elected for a twelve
month period, not just the two semesters
that you are together at school.
Efficient submission of paperwork
is also a good habit, frankly, to develop
as you learn to become an effective
attorney in a fast-moving world. Might
as well “learn life lessons” while you are
learning the law. (District
conference attendees
with me will recall that phrase, but I
digress.)
Personal and chapter awards are
handed out each year after careful review
- by your International Executive Board
- of applications submitted by our
chapters. Each year, however, very
deserving chapters are left out of the
process because they fail to submit an
application. There is a saying in New York
with regard to the lottery that “you have
to be in it to win it”. That slogan applies
with equal force to our award recipients
each year. Simply put, if you don’t apply,
you won’t win. We encourage our
chapters, big and small, to apply for merit
and outstanding chapter awards. In
addition, we select an outstanding Justice
and Clerk, so please submit the names
of your worthy candidates (with a
description of their achievements) for
those positions.
The IEB will also be considering
candidates for the Professor John J.
McAulay award as the outstanding law
school professor. Please send us the
names and credentials of your favorite
PAD professors for inclusion on that list.
The Board will be reviewing those
candidates at its Summer Board Meeting
in August.
Have a great summer. If you are a
recent graduate, best of luck with the bar
exam and your job search. If you will be
returning to school in the fall, hit the
ground running by having your chapter
calendar in place. If you are an alum, we
welcome your continued involvement and
support in PAD activities. Let’s all work
together for the advancement of our
ideals and principles in Phi Alpha
Delta.
This column will return in
the fall. Until then, take good
notes.
Dear MSC:
My chapter is developing our chapter
calendar and we were looking for
different programs to fulfill the
fraternity motto, Ser vice to the
Student, the School, the Profession
and the Community. Do you have any
suggestion?
Fraternally,
Wondering in Wisconsin
Dear Wondering:
First of all, I’m glad to hear that you
are filling out your calendar before the
school year resumes! A chapter that has
a calendar in place before everyone
returns to school will be way ahead of
every other organization on campus and
will make a great first impression for
interested students by showing how
organized and active it is. Plus, your
calendar will be a great recruiting piece
that you can hand out to interested
students who ask what P.A.D. does at
your school! Well done!
Now to get to your question. As you
mentioned, each chapter is expected to
hold programs that fulfill the fraternity
motto. I’m listing a few ideas here that
will fulfill the various areas. They’re not
comprehensive but will provide you a
good start. If you want more ideas, check
out the P.A.D. Yahoo Group files that
include the top three award winning
applications from last year.
Academic Assistance Programs
Academic Assistance Programs are one
area that can greatly benefit your chapter
by providing members of the chapter, as
well as potential new members, with an
academic boost that non-P.A.D.’s won’t
have. Most chapters currently hold
• A How-To Series (How to IRAC,
Outline, Survive Law School, Take a

Lincoln Chapter
Hosts Middle School
Mock Trial
By, Ashley Varterasian
During the Spring 2007 semester, the
Lincoln Chapter united with students
from Chicago’s Southside Saucedo
Middle School to educate them about law
school and to pique their interest in the
legal profession. Each middle school
student was assigned a P.A.D. member as
their pen pal and several letters were
exchanged throughout the semester. In
March, the Lincoln Chapter took a “field
trip” to visit their pen pals to share with
them what our experience in law school
has been like.
The pen pals met again in April when
the students came to visit The John
Marshall Law School. They were given a
tour of the school and the exciting
opportunity to put on their own mock
trial rendition of the classic story Three
Little Pigs. The middle school students
put the trial on themselves, filling the
roles of the prosecution and defense
attorneys, witnesses and the jury. It was
a great success and was thoroughly
enjoyed by all!

Robert Hughes from the Univ. of
Southern California Pre-Law Chapter
has accepted the position as the PreLaw Membership Services Consultant.
Welcome to Jon and Rob!
The Lincoln Chapter also sponsored
the second American Red Cross Blood
Drive of the school year. Thanks to the
planning and organization of our P.A.D.
members, we once again surpassed our
donation goal!
P.A.D. also participated in the March
of Dimes walk and joined with other
organizations
to
sponsor Latin dance
lessons prior to the
annual Barristers Ball.
At the end of the
semester,
John
Marshall held its
annual Spring Fling
where
several
distinguished awards
and scholarships were
announced.
The
Lincoln Chapter was
honored there with
the award of “Most
Active Fraternity” due
to our dedication to
community ser vice
and contributions to
programming at the
law school! This was a
great tribute to our
executive board which
worked hard throughout the semester to
ensure that numerous activities were
available to our members. The Lincoln
Chapter hopes to build upon this
remarkable achievement with the newly
elected executive board, which has already
begun to plan programs and events for
the 2007-2008 school year.
Watkins Chapter: Always Prepared to Serve
Implementing the principle which Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity was built,
“Service to the Student, the School, the Profession and the Community,” the Watkins Chapter
of North Carolina Central University School of Law, hosted an Easter Egg Hunt
and dinner at the Ronald McDonald House in Durham on March 30, 2007. A
fundraiser, which raised nearly two hundred dollars, was held a week prior to the
event to raise funds needed to cover the cost of the dinner and Easter Egg Hunt
supplies.
The children currently residing at the Ronald McDonald House had a great
time and were excited to open their Easter baskets filled with candy, coloring
books, and other fun items.
Thanks to all
the dedicated,
hard-working
members of Phi
Alpha Delta, the
Easter Egg Hunt
was a memorable
and huge success.

On March 23, the A.H. Stephens Chapter at the University of Georgia School
of Law conducted the honorary initiation of Justice Harold Melton of the Georgia
Supreme Court. Justice Melton was selected for this honor because he embodies
P.A.D.’s ideals of Integrity, Compassion, Courage and Professional Service. Known
as a fair and conscientious jurist, he is widely respected for the dedication of his
career to public service as an Assistant State Attorney General, Counsel to the
Governor of the State of Georgia, and now Georgia Supreme Court Justice. The
fraternity thanks Justice Melton for his leadership by example and welcomes him
to our brotherhood.
THE FASHIONABLE FLEMING CHAPTER
On April 13th, the Fleming Chapter held a “Do’s and Don’ts for Lawyers”
Fashion Show. Fleming Chapter members walked a runway demonstrating the
“Do’s” of how lawyers should dress for all occasions, from a casual dinner to the
courtroom to a formal affair. Nova Southeastern University Shepard Broad Law
Center faculty joined in the fun by showing everyone what not to wear. While
students trotted out wearing khaki’s, suits, and formal wear, the faculty members
riled up the crowd with their camouflage, spandex, and pajamas.
The Chapter hosted this event to help out a Fleming sister recently diagnosed
with cancer. Various local business, faculty members, and students donated items
to a silent auction and sold bracelets with another organization to raise funds for
our sister’s medical care. All together, along with entry donations, the Chapter
raised over $3,000.

• Outline and Supplemental Reviews
by chapter members;
• Picking classes after your first year.
These are just a few programs that most
chapters hold. Most of them can and
should be advertised during rush as
members-only events to show that P.A.D.
membership does indeed carry local
tangible benefits.
Professional Programs
Professional Programming is an area
chapters need to focus on to help their
members begin looking at the legal field
itself. Typical professional development
programs include:
• A Speaker Series on hot topics in the
law or on various areas of the law;
• Dress for Success with Brooks
Brothers;
• A Bar Review compare and contrast;
• Shadow a Judge or Attorney.
Alumni Networking
The best way for the networking to take
place is through chapter activities. Some
chapters put on larger, more extravagant
events such as wine tastings and annual
poker tournaments but that does not
have to be the case. Other chapters have
local awards that they give to alumni,
Judges and Professors. Yet others simply
make sure that they invite alumni to all
events, especially initiations! The keys to
getting successful alumni turnout are:
• Advance notice of events (at least
3-4 weeks);
• Frequent reminders of the event as
it approaches;
• Don’t give up if someone doesn’t
come the first time you ask!

“Support Our Troops”
The UCF chapter held a ‘Support our
Troops Drive. In a matter of three weeks
our chapter was able to donate and collect
37 care packages for our troops. The care
packages include toothbrushes,
toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo and
conditioners, DVDs, chapstick, snacks,
shavers, shaving cream, hand sanitizer,
mouth wash, magazines, and most
importantly phone cards.
Our chapter got in contact with a
soldier in the Army with Bravo Company
18th Calvary. They requested all of the
items that we got them. One member
named Mallory Lineberger, went above
and beyond for this project, spending
over $300 in order to help our troops.
She belongs to a military family, and fully
understood how the soldiers like to be
reminded of home and that there are
people in the states who care about them.
Our contact in Baghdad wrote us
saying, “she [my sister] told me about all
the stuff you have to send over here!
THAT IS SO AWESOME, THANK
YOU ALL SO MUCH. You have no idea

CORNELL COLLEGE – POLAR PLUNGE!
On Saturday, March 24th, members of the Cornell College chapter of Phi
Alpha Delta Law Fraternity International, with many other people from around
the area, participated in the first “Polar Plunge” at the Coralville Reservoir in
Iowa City, Iowa. The purpose of the event was to raise money for the Special
Olympics of Iowa. It’s hoped that the plunge, which raised nearly $22,000, will
become an annual event. The water temperature at the time of the plunge was 42
degrees, while the air temperature was a balmy 54 degrees.
how much this means to us!” In addition
to the care packages, we are starting a penpal system with these soldiers. Through
converstations with our contact, it
became clear that a lot of these men are
forgotten by their ‘friends’ and miss
talking to people who are in the States.
This project has touched a lot our
member’s hearts, and they will not easily
forget those who are fighting for our
country.

Using the Web to
Boost Education and
Membership
Initiatives
This Fall’s internet-savvy 1L students
were in the sixth grade when AOL went
public, and online learning has simply
been something taken for granted in their
secondary schools and colleges. But in law
school, they will discover that online
materials are used primarily to support
classroom activities and not as an
educational tool on their own. The
syllabus, the professor’s e-mail, and
readings will be online - but teaching will
be confined to the classroom.
We see this as a shortcoming, one
that presents an opportunity for us to
advance our education and membership
initiatives. To do that, we’re collaborating
with Law Study Systems (LSS), a new
Chicago-based publisher which designs,
develops and publishes Web-based study
aids that target the “big-ticket” topics that
students must master to perform well on
final exams.
We’ve reviewed these highly visual
and interactive study aids and find them
to be of the highest academic and
pedagogical value. In fact, we wish we had
had them when we were in law school.
With that in mind, we’re working with
LSS to make these products available to
as many law students as possible as a
means to advance our education
initiatives and boost our 1L membership
beyond levels that we would otherwise
achieve.
How do we foresee doing that? One
idea involves the use of our “rush boxes,”
which we distribute to each chapter
before the beginning of the fall semester.
This fall, part of the rush box will be a
complimentary product called “The Ten
Toughest Topics for the 1L Student.”
This product will consist of two Webbased tutorials drawn from each of the
five doctrinal 1L courses (Contracts; Civil
Procedure; Criminal Law; Property; and
Torts).
By promoting the Ten Toughest
Topics to prospective 1L members, we
intend to call attention to this new
component of our education initiatives.
And having gained that attention, we
hope to boost our membership by
offering the full suite of these innovative
study aids at a price that is discounted
for P.A.D. members.

Christiancy Chapter’s
Supreme Inductions
By, Heather LaBombardi, Clerk
This semester has been actionpacked for the Christiancy Chapter at
Thomas M. Cooley Law School. In the
spring semester we held our initiation in
the Michigan Supreme Court located in
the city of Lansing. All of our current
members and initiates attended the
initiation and enjoyed the great
opportunity to be in the presence of such
an important event. It was a tremendous
honor to introduce the inductees to the
history and oath of Phi Alpha Delta in
the highest court of Michigan.
Given the above, it is worth noting
that Christiancy Chapter has been quite
heavily involved in community service, as
it is part of Phi Alpha Delta’s motto. For
instance, beginning October of 2006, we
brought several students to Edward G.
Sparrow Hospital’s Child Life
Department to entertain the children who
were staying in the hospital. In addition,
we solicited donations from our school
community as well as from our members.
Through all our efforts we were able to
donate hundreds of dollars worth of
supplies. In the summer semester we plan
to continue our visits to the hospital, in
the hopes of continuing to put smiles on
all children’s faces.

HAMILL CHAPTER – CONQUERS PDP
Congratulations to the Hamill Chapter Flag Football team for bringing home the 2007 GOLDEN CUP!
What started out as a slow, low scoring game, quickly became a shootout as P.A.D. beat P.D.P. 56-49 in overtime to bring
home the first Golden Cup in over 50 years. Using the memory of famed P.A.D. Hamill Chapter football great “Back-Seat”
Billman, the team used an air attack to confuse the P.D.P. defense and score an amazing 42 points after the first half.
The event, back in its first year since the mid-1950’s, was extremely
successful, bringing year-long fraternity competitors toe-to-toe in order
to determine who was the “real” legal fraternity on campus. The newly
designed and engraved Golden Cup will now sit comfortably in P.A.D.
control until next year’s game.
After such an offensive explosion and team effort, not one player
felt comfortable taking home the MVP, so the team unanimously chose
“Back-Seat” Billman’s name to adorn the cup, because without his
memory and inspiration, the victory would likely not have been possible.
Congratulations to P.A.D! Let the tradition continue next year!!!

Finding Ways to Save
on Health Insurance
By, Jay L. Barnes
Sr. Vice President, Assurant Affinity
costs rise considerably in 2007. However,
by making informed health-insurance
decisions you can trim your monthly
costs. Here are a couple of suggestions
to help you make informed decisions.
The cost of health insurance isn’t just
about how much you pay each month.
The truth is that the rising cost of health
insurance affects you in unexpected ways.
Research from the Kaiser Family
Foundation indicates that nearly half of
surveyed employers plan on raising
employee contributions for health
benefits in the coming year. Small
businesses everywhere are reeling from
the health-care crisis while employers
continually strug gle with providing
benefits in order to attract and retain the
best and the brightest.
The catch-22 is how to pay for these
benefits without going out of business
or losing out on other important life
events. Whether you’re a self-employed
attorney or have several employees, don’t
be surprised if your health insurance
Evaluate your health-insurance
options:
The easiest way to reduce monthly
premiums is to consider the new
consumer driven health plans (CDHPs),
such as a Health Savings Account offered
through Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity.
For members of P.A.D., this type of plan
makes sense in ter ms of lowering
monthly premiums and providing
significant tax advantages. CDHPs will
protect you from serious financial trouble
in case of injury or illness while also
protecting your bottom line.
You may have concerns about a
higher-deductible health plan, but the tax
advantages and lower premiums typically
cover the costs of the deductible if you
do have claims. Remember, if you don’t
Thirteenth
Comparative Law
Program in Europe
incur claims for the year, you won’t receive
a refund from your insurance carrier.
CDHPs are a way to realize immediate
savings while maintaining comprehensive
health insurance protection. Few people
ever use all or even most of the benefits
provided through a comprehensive health
plan, so you may actually benefit
financially if you offer choose to enroll
in a CDHP and Health Savings Account.
Consider the new P.A.D. Member
Health Insurance Program:
As an employer or individual member
of P.A.D., you may have found that you
just can’t afford the group health
insurance plans available in your area. If
so, consider working with the P.A.D.
Member Health Plan to help find
affordable health insurance options.
P.A.D. Member Health Plans provides up
to a 36 month rate guarantee and $8
million in lifetime benefits. For graduating

Privacy and Personal
Autonomy
By: Bruno Renda
The right to individual privacy in its
earliest stages already hinted a contingent
right to personal autonomy. In its earliest
years, the right to privacy and personal
autonomy found its most basic definition
in Justice Brandeis’ dissenting opinion in
Olmstead v. United States (1928), where he
says that the framers of the Constitution
sought “to protect Americans in their
beliefs, their thoughts, their emotions, and
their sensations.” Justice Brandeis
summarized this protection as a person’s
“right to be let alone.” The issue in this
case was whether the defendant’s fourth
and, specially fifth amendment right
against self incrimination, had been
violated by wiretaps. In those days, the
court found that it had not. However
Justice Brandeis’ dissent served as a mile
stone for subsequent arguments for an
individual’s personal autonomy. As other
cases dealing with privacy issues were
granted review, The Supreme Court began
to expand the scope of pricacy within the
First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Nineth and
Fourteenth Amendments. At the same
time, the court narrowed the range of the
personal autonomy aspect of the right to
privacy to very basic issues in human
individuality, namely family dealings,
motherhood, marriage, and procreation.
Later in the century, in 1965, one’s
autonomy to make decisions within the
confines of his marriage was challenged
by a Connecticut law that prohibited a
couple from seeking counseling regarding
contraceptives, in Griswold v. Connecticut. In
this case, the issue that arose was whether
the couple in question had a constitutional
right to choose such counseling under the
protection of the Due Process Clause of
the Fourteenth Amendment. In delivering
the opinion of the court,
Justice
Douglas
declared that this state
law operated “directly
on an intimate relation
of husband and wife,”
however in the
penumbra
of
“THE REPORTER” – PAGE 17
constitutional amendments “various
guarantees create zones of privacy” which
could not be regulated by the state. To
further this logic, Justice Douglas cites,
among others, the Fifth Amendment right
against the quartering of soldiers “in any
house” to solidify the notion that a
person’s home is his domain, and
consequently subject to his discretion only.
The Supreme Court went further in
expanding a person’s right to be
autonomous when it decided the landmark
case of Roe v. Wade (1973).The Court had
already recognized the home as a private
sanctuary in Griswold v. Connecticut, but in
Roe, it expanded this privacy to a person’s
freedom to choose what to do with her
own body. The main issue in this case was
whether a woman had sufficient autonomy
over her own body to terminate a
pregnancy without her life being in danger.
The Court, citing Griswold, reaffirmed a
fundamental right to privacy and reasoned
that the Fourteenth Amendment Due
Process Clause gave a woman total
autonomy over her body, but this
autonomy would end upon viability of the
fetus. The part of the decision that deals
with the fetus is only relevant when it
comes to pregnancy, but the affirmation
of autonomy over one’s own body would,
outside of the scope of pregnancy make
personal privacy inviolable.
Conversely, The Supreme Court was
reluctant to expand the notion of personal
autonomy to less elementary aspects of
privacy. In Kelly v. Johnson (1976), a police
officer’s choice of hair length was claimed
to be protected by the right to privacy, The
Supreme Court decided not to invalidate
state regulation that dealt with a police
officer’s appearance. It reasoned instead,
that this claim did not infringe upon a
person’s most intimate realm.
Following
the same line of reasoning, the Court also
refused to extend the privacy protection
in Whalen v. Roe (1976), where the issue
was whether it was a violation of the
Fourteenth Amendment for doctors to
keep and report personal information of
patients to whom controlled substances
had been prescribed. In its decision, the
Court found that the “remote possibility”
that abuse of the availability of this
information did not constitute a violation
of privacy.
Further into the twentieth century, less
orthodox and, consequently, more
controversial claims for freedom to choose
under privacy began to seek review by The
Supreme Court. Laws prohibiting behavior
that had long been seen as deviant by
society began to be challenged under The
Constitution. Sexual practices such as
homosexuality and sodomy, both
homosexual and heterosexual were against
the law in many states. Even though such
laws were almost never enforced, when
they were, they became the target of
privacy and personal autonomy claims. In
Bowers v. Hardwick (1986), the question
raised was whether the Constitution
conferred homosexuals the right to engage
in consensual sodomy. In reaching its
decision, the Court subjected the issue to
two questions in order to establish the
legitimacy of the claim. The Justices asked
whether the act was “implicit in the
concept of ordered liberty” (Palko v.
Connecticut, 1937) and whether it was
“rooted in the Nation’s history
and tradition,”

The Socratic Edge
Be Prepared
By Sonel Shropshire, JD
Socrates probably had no idea that
his method of extracting analysis out of
the human psyche would form the
foundation of the law school learning
experience. As the acclaimed “father of
political philosophy,” his piercing
development of logical reasoning
revolved around the idea of the truth
being pursued, rather than discovered.
Socrates referred to his method of
questioning as elenchus, which is loosely
interpreted as “cross examination.”
Centuries later, the Socratic Method not
only forms the basis of how the truth is
pursued in our justice system, but also
how law students are trained to be
pursuers of that truth.
Senescence has not abated the
intensity of the Socratic Method. It
remains one of the most interactive
forms of educational instruction. Those
who have been through the law school
experience often remember the first time
their name was called “out of the blue”
by a professor. Somehow your last name
sounds different to your own ears, and
you begin to wonder if you are indeed
the intended target of the professor’s
query. The stares that follow from your
classmates, however, quickly confirm that
fact. Your identity has been exposed, and
it is now your turn to formulate an
opinion based on what you have studied.
At first, one might assume that a
single correct (or incorrect) answer will
end the examination, as is often the case
in other educational settings. But law
professors are notorious for presenting
thought-provoking questions that have
no right or wrong answer. They are more
interested in the reasoning leading to your
conclusion than the conclusion itself. So
instead of absolving you from further
examination, your response creates a
verbal “sling-shot,” resulting in another
question delving deeper into your
reasoning. You are now within the jaws
of the Socratic Method.
In dealing with this intense exchange,
there is one guideline that will make the
experience more enlightening and less
frightening.
A law student should
never step into a classroom
unprepared. You should be up
to date on assigned readings and
other responsibilities listed on
your class syllabi. If not, your
attempts to improvise while being
questioned will be exposed, and
embarrassment is almost sure to
follow. The Socratic Method
exploits and highlights
inadequate preparation, as it is
virtually impossible to
engage in the required level
of analysis without doing
your homework.
The chances of you reading
every assigned page and briefing
every assigned case are slim to
none. But when preparing for class,
you should always seek to analyze
relevant issues from various angles,
anticipating the possibility of reaching
different conclusions from those
angles. Then, when you are called
upon by your professor, you can
dive into the conversation with
confidence. Remember, it is not
always the smartest person who
succeeds in law school, but the one
who can best apply legal memory to
an assortment of factual instances.

SAMMIS CHAPTER
SPRING SUCCESS!
In April 2007, the Sammis Chapter at Southwestern Law School organized
events that were new to campus and both tremendous successes! The first was
an all-campus In-House Counsel Speaker Panel and the second was a “Thank
You” lunch for our school’s maintenance staff. The In-House Counsel Panel was
made up of speakers from the public and private fields, including the entertainment
and commercial sectors. Specifically, the panelists included counsel to the Mayor
of Los Angeles, General Counsel to 1-800-Dentist, general counsel to New Wave
Entertainment, and former counsel to Red Bull North America. Even though
the event was held during the last month of school and students were already
cramming for finals, over 75 students came, ate lunch, listened, and asked questions.
The panelists, moderated by Vice-Justice, Marc Baranov, talked about their paths
to becoming in-house counsel attorneys and gave students advice on how to
follow in their footsteps.
Our second April event was an Appreciation Lunch for the Southwestern
maintenance staff, headed by our Clerk, Melanie Deutsch. Our chapter wanted
to formally recognize the hard work of the staff throughout the year which is
not regularly recognized by the student body. After recent P.A.D. efforts numerous
staff, faculty, and other students displayed their gratitude for our work and the
maintenance staff. With the overwhelming response from the school community,
we collected signatures on multiple giant “Thank You” cards and presented the
cards to the staff at a lunch in their honor as a token of our appreciation. Neither
of these events could have been as successful without the hard work of the
entire P.A.D. board including Treasurer, Bayan Laird and Justice, Ellen Levin!

are allowed to select who can join and
who can’t join and that is not the case.
The purpose of Phi Alpha Delta PreLaw, as a professional fraternity, is to
provide individuals interested in the law
with the information necessary to make
an informed decision about whether
going to law school is for them. That
means that anyone who wants to join Phi
Alpha Delta Pre-Law can, unlike the
selection process that is typical when
rushing a social fraternity or sorority.
Phi Alpha Delta has always been a

first to welcome all religious creeds, the
first to welcome women to a law
fraternity, and the first to have a pre-law
program! We are proud to be a fraternity
of inclusion, not exclusion, and take it
very seriously when we discover that
anyone or any chapter is violating that.
We exist to educate everyone about the
law, law school and any possible careers
in the law that are out there and we cannot

Alumni Enjoy a Night in the Greek Islands
Members and friends of the West Suburban Alumni Chapter gathered together
on the evening of February 22, 2007, at the Greek Islands Restaurant in Lombard,
Illinois. On hand to celebrate the chapter’s seventh month in existence were most
of the chapter charter members and initiates. With thunderous shouts of Opaa!,
several members toasted the chapter’s success with shots of ouzo. Shortly
thereafter, Chapter Justice Maley (Webster) made a sad attempt to impress the wait
staff with the only bit of Greek language in his repertoire, the phrase “Philos
Adelphos Dikaios”. As it turns out, justice’s position not withstanding, the waiter
was not a dear brother.
Sister Gloria Tsotsos (Lincoln) served as event chair and somehow managed
to get everyone into their seats just in time for the saganaki to burst into flame –
no small task, and no small flame. Among the special guests at the dinner was
University of Minnesota student Brother Joey Swartz (Mitchell) who was forced
to listen to veteran Brothers Spencer (Story), Kenney (Lincoln) and Maley (Webster)
tell stories and jokes about P.A.D. occasions long past.
With one exception, members sated themselves on plate after plate of a wide
variety of Greek dishes including Taramosalata, Greek Salad, Gyros with Tzatziki,
Chicken Riganati, Arni Bouti Psito, Dolmades, Pastichio, Rice Pilaf, and Oven
Browned Potato. Sister Carol Klima Martin (Lincoln), on the other hand, timed
her fashionably late arrival to coincide with the serving of dessert!
Over dessert, Sister Michelle Isherwood (Humphrey) discussed plans for a
chapter outing to see a Kane County Cougars game in May. The Cougars are the
local Class A affiliate of the Oakland Athletics and have had nearly 90 players
advance into the majors from their ranks. The event would include pre-game
tented barbecue and possibly an appearance by Jake the Diamond Dog.
The West Suburban Alumni Chapter was chartered in August 2006 to serve
P.A.D. Alumni members working or residing in DuPage, Kane, Kendall, and
Western Cook Counties in Illinois. The Chapter provides a professional network
for suburban practitioners, hosts quarterly social events, conducts periodic MCLE
programming, and will be sponsoring monetary law student service awards
beginning in the 2007-2008 school year. For more information concerning the

Teen Court Partners
with Baltimore City for
National & Global
Youth Service Day
Event
On Saturday, April 21, 2007, Charles
County teens joined millions of young
people across America to participate as
part of the Annual National and Global
Youth Service Day (N&GYSD), a pivotal
event that records and celebrates the
positive contributions youth make to their
communities year round. The National
& Global Youth Service Day is the largest
youth service event in the country and is
organized by Youth Service America
(YSA).
The youth volunteers from the
Charles County Teen Court and the
Baltimore City Teen Court met to begin
work on a joint community service
project in recognition of National &
Global Youth Service Day. The project
they selected was to help prepare the
office space recently acquired to house
the newly formed National Association
of Youth Courts (NAYC) Headquarters.
The offices, located in an older building
in Baltimore, needed considerable elbow
grease to clean and prepare for painting.
Forming into teams, the teens worked
together to clean, prep, and paint the 9
offices that will be occupied with the staff
members of the new national association
this summer. Throughout the day, the
offices were abuzz with teen voices and
music as they diligently undertook the
many tasks of the challenge in front of
them. By the end of the day, the offices
had undergone a major transformation
and greatly assisted with making the
NAYC a reality.
In recognition of their participation,
dedication, and commitment to the
objectives of the N&GYSD, the
Department of Justice will be
highlighting their project as part of its
national recognition of the N&GYSD
activities. The Department of Justice and
other national agencies currently sponsor
youth courts by providing grants through
Phi Alpha Delta Public Service Center.

Hoffman Chapter
Works With Teen Court
Each year Hoffman Chapter, like
many other chapters, works with our local
teen court by providing training and
moral support to its members. Our
chapter works with the Northern
Kentucky Teen Court throughout the
school year to help the high school
students that run the teen court learn the
ins and outs of the legal system. Teens
that volunteer to work in the teen court
program get experience working as
everything from prosecutors and defense
attorneys to jury members and court
clerks.
This year the Northern Kentucky
Teen Court was surprised to receive
national attention. The Northern
Kentucky Teen Court was selected to
serve as a national model for teen courts
throughout the country during at the
Fourth
Annual
Congressional
Conference on Civic Education in
Washington D.C. During the Conference
several representatives from the Northern
Kentucky Teen Court discussed the
benefits of teen court programs with
several powerful Washington insiders,
including former Senators Dole and
Daschle and Justice O’Connor.
The teens also presented a reenactment of one of their more
memorable recent cases. The case that
they presented centered on a 17-year-old
father and high school dropout that was
charged with underage possession of
alcohol. During his trial at the teen court
the young father was ordered to attend
alcohol treatment and parenting classes.
Because the trial was held through the
teen court program, the young father will
not have the offense on his criminal
record as he tries to improve his life and
the life of his young child.
If your chapter doesn’t currently
work with a local teen court, you should
definitely consider getting involved. You
can find all of the information that you
need on the P.A.D. Public Service Center
website. Working with your local teen
court is a great way to give back to the
community and make a difference in the
lives of teens in your community. It is
also a way to expose future law students
to the benefits of joining Phi Alpha Delta
and to network with the local attorneys
and judges that also volunteer their time
to the teen court.
This is a copy of the NEW Phi Alpha Delta
Public Service Center poster.

or Kyle at 410-347-3118 or email: [email protected] / [email protected]

THE
SHRINKING
APPLICANT
POOL:
What It
Means For
You
Applicants seeking admission to law
school for the fall of 2007 are each
unique, but as a group they share a
universal, and somewhat unusual,
characteristic. They are the first applicant
pool in five years to see the number of
overall applicants decrease, based on the
February data.* After 2001 (perhaps due
to the Dot-com bust), the number of
applicants to US law schools increased
steadily, leveling out around 2005. 2006
is the first year to see a dramatic decrease
in overall numbers.
The decrease in applicants has
affected nearly every school. The New
York Times recently reported that, as a
whole, law school applications are down
9.5% from last year. And while some have
speculated that the decrease is most
pronounced for schools in the second
and third tier, top schools had been
impacted by the decline as well. Harvard,
which typically has one of the largest
applicant pools of any law school, saw
numbers drop from 7,386 last year to
7,127 this year. Similarly, Stanford saw
applicants slip from 5,040 to 4,863, and
Columbia showed one of the
largest decreases with numbers
falling from 8,355 to 8,020.
According to LSAC, the
number of law school applicants
decreased an average of 6.1% to
75,332.
But does a decrease in
overall applicants mean
that the admissions
process is changing? One
sign that the applicant
pool is experiencing
ripples includes Yale Law
School’s recently relaxed
rules regarding LSAT test
dates. Yale typically does not
consider test scores from
administrations after December for
fall admissions, but this year the
consistently top-ranked school altered
its policy to allow February test takers to
apply for the fall of 2007. Perhaps
because of the change, Yale is the only
school whose number of overall
applicants has only been slighted affected,
down just five students from 2005.
The numbers are certainly falling, but
it is difficult to determine why or what
this means for applicants. With national
unemployment at just 4.7%, (a four-year
low), some speculate that the strong
economy is luring more young people to
the workforce before pursuing advanced
degrees.
Another factor may be the increased
cost of attending law school. Even at
UCLA, a public school subsidized by tax
dollars, tuition has doubled over the last
several years and now hovers around
$24,000. Even so, the cost of attending
UCLA is still significantly less than the
cost of attending a private school.
(Stanford Law School’s tuition for the
2007/2008 school year was just under
$40,000). With tuition increasing,
prospective students may be taking more
time to consider the financial implications
of assuming hefty student loans.
It is also possible that the increased
competitiveness of the admissions game
has discouraged some students from
applying. With a tightening LSAT curve**
and increasing GPA demands, the process
“THE REPORTER” – PAGE 23
itself may have become so difficult that
people who would have applied cavalierly
before are now rethinking the process
until they can be sure that applying to law
school is the right decision.
Still another theory is that, like the
real estate market, the law school
applicant pool is experiencing a normal
correction, balancing itself out after the
spike in applicants over the last five years.
Whatever the reason, there is no
proof that the decrease in applicants is
making it any less difficult to obtain
admission at competitive schools. In fact,
the tightening LSAT curve and the
stability of Yale’s applicant pool suggests
that the most competitive candidates,
those who are targeting elite schools and
competitive firm jobs, are still applying
in large numbers.
If the applicant pool is shrinking, but
overall competition is not slackening, the
LSAT is as important than ever. And in
light of the applicant boom and the fierce
competition in law school admissions
over the last decade, even a 10% decrease
in applicants is unlikely to make the
application process significantly easier.
Obtaining admission to law school is still
a tough and competitive process.
Whatever the applicant pool numbers, an
outstanding LSAT score continues to be
essential to ensure your place in a law
school class.

*According to the Law School
Admissions Council (LSAC)’s most
recent “Current Volume Summary,” a
statistical report comparing the volume
of applicants and applications received
by ABA-accredited law schools through
March 30, 2007 to the volume received
at the same time last year, the number of
law school applicants decreased an
average of 6.1% to 75,332.

for a score in the 99th percentile as on the
December 2005 LSAT.
Protecting Australian
Business and
Infrastructure from
Terrorism
The Hon Philip Ruddock MP,
Attorney-General
We are all painfully aware of the terrible
human cost of terrorism. The tragic loss of
life, the injuries and the senseless destruction
are images that will be etched on our minds
for many years to come. In addition to this
human cost, terrorism also takes an enormous
toll on individual businesses and on the entire
economy. Approximately 80 per cent of
businesses affected by the attacks of
September 11 are no longer operating today.
And it is estimated that the attacks cost the
US economy half a trillion dollars between
2001 and 2003. Just as we need to protect
ourselves from a terrorist attack, it is also
important that businesses are prepared and
have plans in place to get back to normal as
soon as possible.
When I wrote for the Reporter late last
year, I detailed Australia’s wider efforts to keep
our country safe and secure and to protect
our unique way of life. In this edition I would
like to build on this and discuss what we are
doing to protect our economy and our critical
infrastructure.
Australia has an open, market-based
economy. This means that individual
businesses are free to make decisions based
on their assessment of risk and their own
evaluation of what is in their best interests or
those of their stakeholders. So when it comes
to matters such as risk management and
business continuity there is no way the
Australian Government could, or should, be
telling the private sector what to do. In some
situations such as in the transport sector,
regulation is necessary to meet international
obligations. But as a rule, the Government
recognises that there is no simple, universal,
security formula that will suit every business
– and there is no place for us getting involved
in the day to day security considerations of
business.
But this does not mean that governments
are irrelevant to business security. The
protection of our economy, the protection
of nationally vital critical infrastructure and
the maintenance of national prosperity are all
areas where the Australian Government has
a vital interest and is making a significant
contribution. Indeed we recognise that we are
in a unique position to work in partnership
with business on security issues. We can
promote best practice, we can raise
understanding of security matters and we can
share security information with the business
community. We also realise that we can work
as an ‘honest broker’ to bring together the
owners and operators of critical infrastructure
to discuss common security issues affecting
them and to help them work out solutions to
the common problems they face.
Recognising we are in a position to work
with businesses on security issues is one thing
– the difficult part was working out how to
make the idea of cooperation, information
sharing and dialogue a reality.
The first thing we have done is establish
the Business-Government Advisory Group
on National Security. The great value of this
group is that it allows me to hear first
hand what issues are important to
Australian CEOs. So far it
has been issues such as
identity security, the
protection of places of
mass
gathering,
reform of the private
security industry, the use
of CCTV and the
introduction of new
“THE REPORTER” – PAGE 24
technologies, such as biometrics, that have
generated the most discussion.
This business-government relationship
has been further enhanced by the
establishment of the Trusted Information
Sharing Network for Critical Infrastructure
Protection (TISN). The TISN provides a
forum where the owners and operators of
critical infrastructure can come together to talk
about security issues, to share information and
to address common problems.
The outcomes achieved by the TISN in
a relatively short period of time have been
considerable. A strategy to enhance the safety
and security of the food chain has been
developed, an information technology security
expert group has been formed which
produces information and advice on a range
of emerging IT issues, and a planning
workshop was recently held to help identify
industry priorities for the distribution of fuel
in the event of an emergency.
As part of this ongoing dialogue with
business, the Government has also released
an information kit to raise awareness about
risk management and business continuity
among small and medium sized enterprises.
Good Security – Good Business provides useful
information on the importance of being
prepared for an incident and the value of
having plans in place to respond and recover
as quickly as possible. Copies of the booklet
are available through the TISN website at
www.tisn.gov.au.
Another way the Government is working
with business is through the provision of
ASIO Threat Assessments and Business
CONTINUED ON PAGE 25
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24
Security Reports. These develop information
and advice about security threats that is
relevant to closely with the private sector to
ensure that its advice is tailored to the specific
circumstances of the business.
We are also working closely with business
to develop a complex computer modelling and
analysis capability to identify the ways in which
the critical infrastructure jigsaw fits together.
The Critical Infrastructure Protection
Modelling and Analysis (CIPMA) Program
is a computer based capability which models
and simulates the behaviour and dependency
relationships of critical infrastructure. The
capability can analyse the flow-on effects of a
service disruption within and across industry
sectors, the effects on the economy and the
population, the duration of a disruption, the
area affected and how critical infrastructure
systems will behave as a result of the
interruption. The United States (US) is also
working on its own critical infrastructure
modelling programme and Australia and the
US engage in regular consultations on this
important work.
Of course, Australia is always eager to
work with, and learn from, our international
friends. We regularly take part in international
exercises and in March 2008 we will be
participating in Cyber Storm II. Cyber Storm
II is a US-led initiative to exercise and evaluate
communication and coordination between
critical infrastructure protection agencies in
the US, Australia, New Zealand, the United
Kingdom and Canada in the event of a major
cyber incident.
As part of our response to cyber-threats
the last federal budget announced over $70
million on e-security initiatives. This money
will help protect government systems, critical
infrastructure, businesses and home users
from the growing range of cyber-threats.
The message from the Australian
Government is very clear - national security is
everyone’s responsibility. The Australian
Government is deeply committed to helping
the business community protect the vital assets
that are the backbone of our national
economy. By working together we will be
better placed to ensure Australia remains a
vibrant, prosperous and safe nation.

USC Pre-Law Chapter’s
Successful Rush!
Glasses clinked. Heels clicked. Men
and women in suits and dresses mingled
as they sipped Shirley Temples while
having dinner at McCor mick and
Schmick’s Seafood Restaurant in
downtown Los Angeles. What drew all of
them together that night was a passion for
law.
It was the first night of spring rush
for Phi Alpha Delta Pre-Law Fraternity.
Phi Alpha Delta is not your typical
fraternity; it doesn’t have a house on “The
Row” or throw registered parties. Monday
night deliveries are replaced with
presentations by judges and law school
panels.
As a co-educational, pre-law fraternity
with a professional emphasis, P.A.D.
provides its members with extensive
information about law schools, the LSAT
and the different fields of law. Chapter
President Robert Hughes says the
fraternity helps members “get ahead of
the competition” when applying to law
school and has a “considerable emphasis
on friendship and brotherhood.”
“It’s both professional and social, and
both aspects are equally important. It’s not
a club where people just show up
whenever they choose.” continues Hughes.
“P.A.D. rush is intentionally held a week
after Interfraternity Council’s spring rush
because some of the actives are also in
social fraternities and sororities,” explains
Hughes, who is also a member of Sigma
Phi Epsilon.

dinner welcomed the P.A.D. atmosphere.
“There is no sorority or fraternity
intimidation,” says Uche Anene, a senior
majoring in political science. “It has goals.
It’s geared toward a direction.”
P.A.D. saw a particularly high turnout
for spring rush, with at least 80 people,
including actives, attending scheduled
events. “This is usually what we get in a
year combined,” Hughes happily
explained.
A Note from University of Southern
California P.A.D. Pre-Law Chapter
Dear Phi Alpha Brothers and Sisters Nationwide,
My name is Robert Hughes and I’m the President of the University
of Southern California’s P.A.D. Pre-Law Chapter. I’m honored to inform
you of the best Professional Event our Chapter has ever had in my four
yeas as an undergraduate and P.A.D. member. On Wednesday, March
7thour chapter had the privilege of hosting attorney Richard Montauk
and his popular presentation, Law School Admissions Revealed.
A gifted and engaging speaker, Mr. Montauk is a leading authority
on U.S. legal education, the author of How to Get Into the Top Law Schools,
and two other best selling admissions books. He is founder and president
of “Degree of Difference,” a firm that has helped thousands of applicants
get into the world’s most selective law schools, business schools, and
colleges. Mr. Montauk is Consulting Editor, and major contributor, to
the annual LLM Guide and Global MBA Guide (publications of Hobson’s
London). I’m pleased to announce that over 100 students attended the
event at USC’s University Park Campus. Mr. Montauk is currently touring
the country with his presentation and new book. Richard would love to
speak to P.A.D. chapters nationwide and can be scheduled by contacting
his publicist, Sherie Pitt at [email protected].
In my four years as a member of the P.A.D. Pre-Law Chapter at
USC, I have never seen a better legal speaker who will show you how to
open the door of admission to your law school of choice. I would highly
encourage your chapter to host Mr. Montauk and open the event to your
student body on your campus. There are many books and speakers on
how to get into the best law schools; Mr. Montauk’s tops all of them and
upon inviting him to your campus, you will see why. Best of luck in your
professional and personal endeavors.
Respectfully, Robert E. Hughes II
President- USC P.A.D. Pre-Law Chapter

Hollowell Chapter
Iredell Chapter
The Iredell Chapter has had a
wonderful 2006 and is off to a great start
for 2007.
The Fall of 2006 began with Rush
which resulted in a record 46 new
members, almost doubling the
membership of the chapter. The record
year continued as Iredell and Campbell’s
Women in Law raised over $1,000 for
breast cancer awareness and the Komen
Foundation through Karaoke for Komen.
The event was held at Doughboy’s in
Lillington, North Carolina.
The trend continued in 2007 with a
very successful Iredell Banquet. The
Iredell Banquet is an annual event
honoring a member of the legal
community in North Carolina who has
contributed to the state, community, and
Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law.
This year’s recipient was the Honorable
Ann Marie Calabria, NC Cour t of
Appeals, a 1983 graduate of the School
of Law. The ceremony and reception was
held at the NC Bar Center in Cary, NC.
Several NC Supreme Court Justices were
in attendance as well as many members
of the legal and political community.
Thanks to Nicole Shoemaker, 2006
Iredell Banquet Chair, for all of her hard
work. The event would not have
happened without her.
Iredell’s spring fundraiser was Rodeo
for Ronald. The event was held at the
C&G Sports Bar and benefited the
Ronald McDonald House of Durham.
Over $500 was raised and donated to the
Ronald House, and this year’s Rodeo was
the first of what will be an annual event.
The Hollowell Chapter at John Marshall
Law School -Atlanta held their
“Hollowell Halloween” at Six Flags
Fright Fest in Atlanta, Georgia.
“THE REPORTER” – PAGE 27
The second half of 2007 promises to be
more successful than the first. The
upcoming calendar includes koozie sales,
rush, question and answer sessions for
incoming 1Ls, Karaoke for Komen, and
a new event in Iredell’s Habitat
Halloween.
For Habitat Halloween, P.A.D.
members will volunteer to help construct
a house with Harnett County’s Habitat
for Humanity, which will be followed that
night with a Halloween party.
Thanks to the newly elected
executives for their hard work and
creativity: John S. Hindsman, Jr., Justice;
Webster Harrison, Vice Justice; Douglas
J. Short, Clerk; Carrie Randa,Treasurer;
and especially Erin K. Pleasant, Marshall/
Social Chair. Sister Pleasant has worked
very hard to put together all of our social
events and fundraisers. Thanks also to the
following Chairs: Caroline Weeks, Iredell
Banquet; Marlo Ricks, Academic/Service;
Elleveve Boyer, Promotions; and Allen
Trask, III, Rush.
We are looking forward to a fun and
productive year here at Campbell Law. All
are welcome to join us at our upcoming
events. Feel free to contact the Iredell
Chapter for more infor mation at

Concord University
Mock Trial Team
Recognized By West
Virginia Legislature
The pre-law members of Concord
University’s mock trial team traveled to
Charleston, West Virginia, February 13,
2007, to accept a resolution passed by the
Senate to recognize the team for its
exceptional performance at the Phi Alpha
Delta Pre-Law National Mock Trial
Competition.
Senator Don Caruth proposed the
resolution to recognize the team’s firstplace finish in the 2006 competition and
to show appreciation for their distinction
as “Best Defense Team” for the third
consecutive year at the competition. The
team consisting of Nathaniel Nagy,
Matthew Stonestreet, Ashley Gillespie,
and Bryan Henderson, and coached by
Marshall Campbell, was honored by the
West Virginia Senate “for its dedication,
intellectual excellence and hard work” and
“outstanding academic achievement.”
The Concord University Pre-Law
Chapter, the University, and the
community are very proud of the team’s
achievements and look forward to
another exciting competition in the Fall.

The chapter is currently planning an
LSAT prep workshop for members and
interested pre-law students at Concord
and surrounding universities, tours to law
schools and observations of first-year law
classes, and various fundraisers,
community service projects, and social
activities.

which was a question raised in Griswold.
The Court’s conclusion was that the
Constitution did not protect the act.
More recently, in 2003, another
controversial case, very similar to Bowers,
was granted certiorari, the case of Lawrence
v. Texas. This time however, the Court’s
decision was inconsistent with the
precedent it had set in Bowers. The main
issue in Lawrence was similar to that in
Bowers. Do two individuals of the same sex
have a Fourteenth Amendment right to
be autonomous in their decision to engage
in certain sexual practices in the privacy
of their home? The Supreme Court ruled
that they should be free from government
intrusion in the privacy of their home, and
thereby overturned Bowers.
As times change, the country’s notion
of what is “rooted in the Nation’s history
and tradition” change with it. This variable
is at the same time balanced by the
composition of the Supreme Court. Both
of these factors are ultimately pivotal in
defining how far the individual’s right to
personal autonomy will go.

SONEL SHROPSHIRE
“Lead Your Way To The
Top!” This program takes a fun,
interactive approach to
leadership. “Lead Your Way To
The Top” goes beyond the
basics,
addressing
organizational change theory,
specifically addressing the role
of the leader in the process.
Participants
have
the
opportunity to challenge
themselves throughout the
presentation as principles of
leadership are shared.
Note from Rick: I spent years
of study and experience developing this
program. I go beyond the basics. We’re
not talking about how to run better
meetings or goal setting. This program
works very well with leadership
programs, workshops, conferences, etc.
I approach leadership from a new
perspective that touches on theory, yet
without all the jargon that confuses
the real issues.
T.J. Sullivan has spoken to
more than a million students
since 1990.
He has been recognized

from HIV/AIDS awareness
to alcohol abuse. T.J. is one of
the best known names in
college programming, having
keynoted every Greek regional
conference at least three times.
Student
audiences
appreciate T.J. for his speaking
style which blends humor,
straight-talk, and practical
strategies. With T.J., you get a
speaker with a distinct

Alumna Celeste Reilly said she came
to the dinner to show support for the
fraternity which has grown dramatically
since she was an active member. “P.A.D.
is a crash course in what law school is all
about,” Reilly said. “It truly helped me in
terms of seeing everything out there.”
Some rushees said they want to get
involved because of the opportunities the
fraternity offers. “I’m expecting to
network and meet people with similar
interests,” said Jackie Skara, a sophomore
majoring in Viola Performance and
French.
Many actives have said that the
fraternity has already helped open doors
to legal careers and enabled them to
understand the intricacies of the legal
profession. “P.A.D. has provided me with
the most guidance in my legal pursuits,”
said Yiannis Rigas, a junior majoring in
political science and international relations.
“Without it I would just be lost. This
fraternity puts you on the right track.”
