Celebrating 150 Years: The SBCBA’s Historic Anniversary in 2025
On December 11, 2025, the San Bernardino County Bar Association (SBCBA) will mark an incredible milestone—its 150th Anniversary! Founded on December 11, 1875, the SBCBA is the oldest continuously active bar association in California, and we are thrilled to celebrate this rich history with our members, the legal community, and the broader public throughout the coming year.
A Year of Celebration
The 150th Anniversary celebrations kicked off in January 2025 with a fabulous inaugural Bowling Night - which was such a hit, it will now be an annual event. Photos on the slideshow below!
The monthly events continued, with February’s Access to Justice Awards, presented by the Legal Aid Society
of San Bernardino - click slideshow below to see photos. April will offer an exciting night at Top Golf in Ontario, starting at 6p on the 10th.
