The Beverly Hills Bar Association (BHBA) is proud to announce that it won first place in both the “Best Continuing Legal Education Provider” and “Best Online CLE Provider” categories in The Recorder’s 2025 Best Of awards. The results are based on votes from attorneys and legal professionals collected earlier this year.

With the tagline “CLEs You Actually Want to Watch,” BHBA delivers engaging, accessible programming tailored for maximum convenience. Averaging nearly two new webinars each weekday, BHBA now offers more than 1,000 multi-state accredited CLEs across dozens of practice areas through its OnDemand platform. Programs are available live, OnDemand, or on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and all major podcast platforms, allowing attorneys to watch or listen anytime, anywhere. This year alone, BHBA’s programs have drawn more than 130,000 registrations from members and beyond. 

“These awards are a huge source of pride for BHBA,” said BHBA President Nadira Imam. “But it’s important to emphasize that the credit truly belongs to our dedicated volunteer bar leaders and speakers. I constantly hear how valuable our content is, and that’s a direct result of the expertise and generosity of our Section leaders and presenters.” BHBA has 45 Sections covering a wide range of practice and interest areas.

BHBA’s CLE platform sets the organization apart. “Our team has spent years developing and refining custom systems that make it easy to register, watch, and receive credit. Registration is a couple of clicks, CLE certificates issue almost instantly after watching, and members can track their progress toward State Bar compliance on an intuitive dashboard,” Imam said. “Our goal has always been to create a user-friendly, cutting-edge platform that highlights the knowledge and talents of our speakers, including our members. These awards from The Recorder affirm that vision.”

BHBA members receive free access to live CLE webinars. OnDemand access varies with membership level. BHBA proudly offers access to complimentary live and OnDemand CLE for public interest and government attorneys. Law students and lawyers in their first three years of practice receive complimentary membership—including free CLEs access—courtesy of Lawyers’ Mutual Insurance Company (LMIC). Through partnerships, the OnDemand library is also available to all insureds of LMIC and members of numerous bar associations across California. “These partnerships broaden the reach of our speakers and offer valuable access to attorneys throughout California,” Imam noted. “We’re excited to expand these collaborations even further.”
