Barristers

If you are a new attorney, a law student, or awaiting bar results, BHBA’s Barristers is the place for you. There are tons of resources and benefits to help young lawyers navigate the early years of a career, opportunities to network, and resources to grow your skill set. BHBA law student and lawyer members who are 36 years old or under, or who have been licensed for eight or fewer years, are automatically Barristers and welcome to participate in Barrister activities.
Attorneys with fewer than three years in practice, law students, and those awaiting bar results receive Sustainer membership free of charge, courtesy of Lawyers’ Mutual Insurance Company.
