Armin Mojtahedi graduated from the University of Calgary's law school in 2016, but passed away from an aggressive form of brain cancer before completing necessary on-the-job training.
Mojtahedi's law school classmates say they lobbied the law society for several years to admit their friend, who died before finishing an articling position with a law firm, a requisite to full legal accreditation in Alberta. While receiving treatment, he tried to complete on-the-job training, but according to Maduri, his condition deteriorated too quickly.
After learning about the ceremony, held around the 100th anniversary of the war's end, Maduri and fellow classmate William Katz started petitioning to get their friend posthumous recognition."So we initially, we sent a letter, and then we followed up with some more letters, and then we followed up with a few emails," said Katz.
