The event was organised in conjunction with a vigil held on the steps of the County Court in Melbourne.
Australians' Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were convicted of drug charges in Indonesia in 2005 and sentenced to death.
The pair have served 10 years in custody.
BLA president Jennifer Rigby said the death penalty was "barbaric".
"We haven't had the death penalty in this country for a very long time," she said.
"The important thing about it is these men are rehabilitated now. They've spent 10 years in prison.
"They have worked very hard to make amends.
"An important cornerstone of the law is that people are able to demonstrate that they show redemption."
Ms Digby said there would be a feeling of devastation among the law community if the executions were to go ahead. However, she said the most recent delay in the men's executions had sparked a small ray of hope.
"We seem to be at a crossroad, whereby the reprieve to not send the men to the island for execution has been stayed, but we don't really know what that means," she said.
"There are people working very hard with the legal proceedings which are still on foot, and I note that Peter Morrissey SC, who is part of that legal team, has said that while that is still happening these men can not be executed. So I think there is a little bit of hope there."
