Phi Delta Phi, Jaworski Inn

Phi Delta Phi, Jaworski Inn Phi Delta Phi is the oldest legal organization in continuous existence in the United States, predating even the American Bar Association.

It was founded in 1869 at the University of Michigan School of Law by four law students, who at the urging of their faculty, endeavored to create an association that would foster scholarship, civility, and ethical conduct in our profession. Since that time, Phi Delta Phi has grown beyond the borders of the United States to Canada, Latin America and Europe. Phi Delta Phi celebrates academic excelle

nce and embraces the finest attributes of professionalism and scholarship. Since our founding, Phi Delta Phi has emphasized to students and lawyers alike the importance of our calling. Our active membership is drawn from those students of the law who not only have shown themselves companionable, but have manifested ability and industry in legal study. Similar to membership in Phi Beta Kappa in the undergraduate colleges and universities, membership in Phi Delta Phi is a mark of honor and distinction that follows one throughout life. Academic achievement alone is not sufficient to give rise to an invitation to join Phi Delta Phi. Integrity, service, and excellence in all facets of human experience are considered factors for membership. In the words of our Phi Delta Phi©® forefathers, we intend that those so selected shall lead the legal profession. Once accepted, a member of Phi Delta Phi will be recognized as one whose moral compass, academic ability, and personal integrity is beyond reproach. In other words, membership is a mark of distinction.

General information

Different individuals seek different goals and objectives. There are those who believe that camaraderie, good fellowship and promotion of the highest standards of professional and personal ethics and performance justify affiliation. Others seek more tangible benefits: scholarships, regional and international meetings and conventions and other benefits made possible by membership. THE CHOICE IS YOURS The choice of a legal society may depend upon many factors, one of which, obviously, is the local Inn. But if you look for the Society with the largest number of student leaders; with the highest standards of scholarship and service; and with a fellowship based upon more than mere sociability -- you will find that it is Phi Delta Phi. December 13, 1869 As a member of the oldest and most prestigious professional Society on earth, our initiates join the ranks of Presidents and Supreme Court Justices, political figures and legal giants in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Eastern Europe. No other legal Society can offer the full range of benefits that come with membership in Phi Delta Phi. Since Phi Delta Phi is the oldest and most international of legal fraternities, the network of movers and shakers that our members have access to is unrivaled. PLACEMENT OPPORTUNITIES Officers of the Society and the Headquarters' staff stand ready to counsel Student and Barrister Members of Phi Delta Phi concerning job placement and opportunities. SOCIAL AND PROFESSIONAL BENEFITS As a Member of an Inn of Phi Delta Phi, there will be opportunities to participate in social -- as well as professional -- activities and functions. In some law schools, social activities are weighted equally with professional activities. At other law schools, the thrust of an Inn's programs remains entirely professional and scholastic. Friendships cultivated in law school continue after graduation. Phi Delta Phis maintain contact on a social level as well as a professional level through Barrister Inns, Bar Associations and other professional organizations.
