BENCH
AND BAR
F irst proclaimed by the World Wildlife Fund of South Africa in
2011, World Rhino Day is celebrated on September 22 every
year. The day celebrates all five species of rhinoceros: black,
white, greater one-horned, Sumatran and Javan. But why limit
the celebration to a single day? Some of our colleagues at bench and bar
invoke the rhinoceros at any time of year—read on to find out more!
Andrea J. Piercy and Oliver C. Hanson both join Hamilton Duncan, having
been at Fraser Litigation. Sergio Custodio jumps from Fasken to join

Lawyers who have moved their practices should e-mail details of their past and present circumstances to Peter Roberts, Q.C.,
at <benchandbar@the-advocate.ca> to ensure an appearance in “Bench and Bar”. Note that we do not report changes in
lawyers’ status within their firms (from associate to partner, for example) other than in cases where persons formerly articled
have been hired as associates.
