Newly admitted attorneys who join the BHBA are referred to as Barristers. The Barristers serve to acquaint and familiarize new lawyers with members of the Bar and the Bench, encourage their participation in the Bar, and assist them in their new profession by broadening these relationships through a variety of dynamic programs and events.

A new attorney is defined as a lawyer member of the Beverly Hills Bar Association who on the first day of an Operating Year either (i) is age thirty-seven or under, or (ii) has been admitted to practice for ten years or less and shall automatically be a member of the Barristers during such Operating Year. Student Members shall also be Members of the Barristers, but shall not be eligible to serve in an elected or appointed position of the Barristers.

The Barristers are active in many community service projects, pro bono activities and social functions through the various Barristers committees. Committee membership is open to all Barristers. The Barrister President appoints committee chairs, co-chairs and vice chairs. Many committee positions are open to law students as associate members.
