Our chapter is a part of The Philadelphia Brehon Law Society, our parent organization, which is a professional association organized to foster the profession of law among individuals of Irish ancestry.
Who are the Brehons?
Our chapter is comprised of law students from Rutgers Camden who are interested in celebrating and fostering their Irish heritage. The Philadelphia Brehon Law Society is comprised of Judges, lawyers and law students and their friends. Brehon was chosen as the original name of the Society when it was founded in 1976 and has grown from a handful of lawyers to over 500 members.
What do we do?
As a law school chapter, we participate in the Philadelphia Brehon Law Society where we have the opportunity to meet and interact with Philadelphia attorneys and judges who are also members. We also hold meetings and organize events for our organization and for the law school as a whole. The Philadelphia Brehon Law Society provides forums for educational, cultural and social activities concerning Irish heritage and tradition. The Society also seeks to promote closer affiliations between the bench, the bar, students of law and the community, and to further a high standard of legal ethics.
