Supreme Court was filled to the brim as friends and family gathered to watch Kimberly Caines and Shannon Dyer called to the Bermuda Bar.In a series of speeches, the two young Bermudians were praised for their hard work and commitment to their craft.Addressing the packed courtroom, Ms Caines said that she was humbled and honoured by being called to the Bar, saying becoming a barrister was a part of a childhood dream. She initially studied feminist theory and Spanish literature in college and said it was the death of her grandfather that motivated her to apply to law school.In an emotional speech, she thanked her family, co-workers, God and those who inspired her, including the late Dame Lois Browne Evans, who she described as an inspiration.“While I hope to make an impact on the global stage, I want to make a difference here in my home country,” she said.Her colleagues at Mello Jones & Martin described Ms Caines as articulate and talented; firm partner Juliana Snelling likened her to a combination of “career woman and energiser rabbit”.Mr Dyer, following the advice of his mentors, kept his own speech brief, thanking his family and saying to his parents: “I have worked hard to justify your faith in me.”He also detailed the sometimes difficult hours that goes along with his chosen profession, saying how on one occasion he was called in from a night out to prepare an urgent application. “We finished by around 10.30pm and had to go to the Judge’s home as she had gone out and enjoyed her Saturday night,” he said to laughter.His co-workers at Attride Stirling & Woloniecki praised Mr Dyer for his hard work and commitment, but repeatedly mocked his taste in socks.Giving the Island’s newest lawyers a bit of advice, Puisne Judge Ian Kawaley said that both Ms Caines and Mr Dyer should remember to put their clients before themselves, to learn from their mistakes, and to enjoy themselves.“If you do not enjoy yourself, it will be unlikely that you will excel and make the contribution you both could make,” Justice Kawaley said.
