2010 Pre-Law Conference
ence
The 2010 Pre-Law Conference will be held
November 11–13 at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center
in Alexandria, Virginia. Sponsored by The Princeton
Review, the Conference will once again feature great
speakers, our nationally recognized law expo and the
annual Mock Trial Competition. All Chapters should
plan to attend.
Our speakers include:
1. The Princeton Revie
eview’s s Andrew w Brody
who
created the popular TPR podcast series “LSAT Logic in
Everyday Life,” chosen by iTunes as one of the Best
Podcasts of 2006.
2. Pete ete Mockaitis
ockaitis, author of ‘The Student Leader’s
Field Guide.” Pete believes that students have the power
to make huge impacts on their campuses, especially if
they take their student leadership challenges seriously.
“There is no need to wait for ‘someday’ when it comes
to leadership,” he says, “They are living leadership right now.”
In his first presentation, Pete will address everyone’s moment of frustration in being a leader. He will help you put
things into perspective and offers tactics to immediately transform frustrations into possibilities in his session on the Four
Frustrations of Student Leadership.
In his keynote address, “One Year to Make it Happen,” Pete will help you become a legend in your own time. What
do you do when you’ve got a new, energetic group of officers and big plans to dominate this year? Few years result in
legendary leaps and most only maintain the organization’s status quo. How do you make sure that in THIS year—your
year—amazing things happen? How do you make this year the one where membership multiplies, events rock, finances
flourish and you emerge a hero on the other side?
Pete will illustrate practical approaches to catapult your organization to the next level as he reveals proven strategies
for students to:
• Inspire super engagement among members;
• Keep it real and promote meaty exchanges;
• Ensure that members follow through on their commitments;
• Stay passionate and focused in
the heat of challenges;
• Learn from their successes and
failures.
3. Dean Reyes Aguilar of the
S.J.Quinney College of Law at the
University of Utah will discuss law
school financial aid and the process to
apply.
4. Jeff
eff Thomas of Kaplan will
present “Preparing a Personal
Statement” and making sure you avoid
common mistakes.
And much more, including our
annual mock trial competition and
Pre-Law Expo featuring law schools
from around the country! To register

Fundraiser
By Jasmine Crawford,
Pre-Law President
In an effort to make
money for our Mock Trial
fund, The Texas Tech
Chapter of Phi Alpha Delta Pre-Law hosted a Carwash on September 4 th .
With the help of the service sorority, The Miller Girls, we were able to raise
more than $100. Since this carwash was so successful we have scheduled
another one for September 25 th . Although we did not make a thousand dollars
at this carwash, we were able to establish a better fraternity bond and every
cent we made gets us closer to our Mock Trial goal. We look forward to
having the next carwash soon!
