About
We encourage law students to consider being a member of the nation's premier law fraternity. Delta Theta Phi, which can trace its roots to 1900, has initiated more than 136,000 members across the country and in several other nations. Many of our members are distinguished persons in government, in business, in international affairs, on the judiciary, and in the general practice of law.
The Fishelson Senate at the Massachusetts School of Law has had great historical involvement in the foundations of our law school. Since our Senate’s establishment in 1990, we were involved in our school’s extraneous efforts to combat the American Bar Association, in addition to having some of our members present among our faculty and staff and as prominent attorneys.
Delta Theta Phi provides a forum for students, lawyers, and other members to network, exchange ideas and knowledge, and create lifelong professional affiliations and personal friendships.
Each new student member, upon the payment of the one-time student fee and taking the oaths of membership, receives a recognition pin, certificate, subscription to our magazine The Paper Book, and access to all member benefits.
