New Admittees Reception on March 14, 2013 a Success!!
The Beverly Hills Bar Association Barristers proudly hosted their popular New Admittees Reception on March 14, 2013, garnering over 150 attendees.
Bar Leaders and Barristers of the BHBA warmly welcomed those newly admitted to the profession at the Beverly Hills Bar Association’s offices in the Rolex Building on Wilshire Boulevard.
The Honorable Judge John Segal addressed the attendees about the importance of community involvement and building lasting relationships in the legal profession, reinforcing some of the core values of the Beverly Hills Bar Association.

BHBA Barristers 2012 LAW DAY Event, with Presiding Judge Lee Smalley Edmon – No Courts, No Justice, No Freedom!
-
- Jonathan S. Dennis, Esq., Chair of Law Day Committee; Presiding Judge Lee Smalley Edmon; Jaison T. Benjamin, Esq., Barristers President; Marc R. Staenberg, Esq., Executive Director
In 1958 President Dwight Eisenhower established Law Day as “a day of national dedication to the principle of government under law.” Commemorated annually since that date, Law Day programs are conducted throughout the country by bar associations, courts, schools, and civic groups.
In celebration of the 55th annual Law Day, the Beverly Hills Bar Association Barristers hosted a Law Day Event, with very special guest speaker, Honorable Lee Smalley Edmon. In celebration of Law Day, the Barristers collaborated with LexisNexis in offering free MCLE for attendance at Judge Edmon's discussion on the California State Budget Crisis.
During the Law Day presentation, Judge Edmon offered insight into the the state budget situation, the two-part plan proposed by the Administrative Office, the judicial Budget Working Group’s approach, and the importance of adequate response to the budget crisis to protect access to justice in California. To download a copy of Judge Edmon's PowerPoint presentation, please visit http://www.bhba.org/images/pdf/BHBA-Law-Day-Budget-Presentation-2012.pdf.
Barristers Annual Vintage Bouquet Food & Wine Extravaganza – A Great Success!
The Beverly Hills Bar Association Barristers are continually impressed by Immediate Past President, Leigh Leshner and her dedicated committee who once again planned and hosting another greatly successful Vintage Bouquet Food and Wine Extravaganza in April 2012!
Since its commencement in 1988, the Vintage Bouquet has become one of the Beverly Hills Bar Association’s premiere events, featuring bites by several of L.A.’s top chefs and tastings by many of California’s premium wineries, along with entertaining live music and fun silent and live auctions.
Most importantly, proceeds of the Vintage Bouquet support charitable contributions made by the Beverly Hills Bar Foundation, including pro bono services, community outreach projects, legal education programs, and access to the justice system.
A sincere thank you to all who volunteered, attended, and donated for this year’s Vintage Bouquet, which may very well have been the most successful Extravaganza so far! For more information on the event, please visit www.vintagebouquet.com. Photos by Jamie Pham Photography.
Samoshel – Barristers Community Outreach Event – Sat, May 12, 3-5pm
We're headed back to Samoshel Homeless Shelter in Santa Monica this Saturday to help prepare food and serve a meal to about 60 of the City's homeless! If you've never been before, come join us! If you have, you know it's fun, easy and very rewarding!
Barristers Jeanine Percival Wright, Anton Labrentz and Nick Blesich will plan the meal and buy the food – you just have to show up at 3:00 pm to help us cook and serve!
What: BHBA Barristers Community Outreach Event - Give back to your community and network with other young like-minded professionals!
When: This Saturday, May 12th from 3:00-5:00 pm (you still get your Saturday night!). We start cooking at 3:00 pm and start serving dinner at 4:30 pm or so.
Where: Samoshel Homeless Shelter - 505 Olympic Blvd in Santa Monica, CA 90401.
Why: It's a great opportunity to get a little perspective, develop a connection with the community and make a real difference!
Parking: Pull into the lot out front (we squeeze in as many as possible) or take metered parking on the street (but read the signs!).
Our group usually feeds 50-60 people for about $150. If you can throw in a couple of bucks to help offset the cost of the food, that would be fantastic. But even if you can't, still come and help out. We’ll be really glad you did! And so will you!
