The Legal Archives Society of Alberta invites you to a special posthumous Call to the Bar Ceremony in remembrance of the sacrifice of Alberta law students who answered the patriotic call for service overseas but never returned home to complete their studies or articles to become lawyers.

With the 100th anniversary of the armistice ending hostilities on November 11, 2018, this Call to the Bar Ceremony is LASA’s way, with generous support from the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta, the Law Society of Alberta, and the Calgary Bar Association, of remembering and honouring the sacrifice of these men.
