TORONTO, Dec. 18 (UPI) -- A Toronto law student has quit her training position with a large Toronto law firm after the Toronto Star learned she allegedly bought her undergraduate degree.
The newspaper said it contacted the Wildeboer Dellelce LLP firm in Toronto's financial district with evidence Quami Frederick, 28, had purchased her undergraduate degree and transcripts from St. George's University in Grenada.
Law firm spokesman Kevin Fritz said the ensuing discussion with Frederick was brief.
"We didn't have to say much. She immediately resigned," he told the newspaper.
Canadian law school graduates must spend several months "articling," or working under supervision, with a law firm before they can practice solo.
Frederick used the bachelor of science degree with a 3.93 grade point average to enter Toronto's Osgoode Hall law school in 2006. The Star found grades from the school were also altered upwards in her application to Wildeboer Dellelce.
In an interview, Frederick tearfully told the newspaper she was $80,000 in debt from student loans, and saw little hope for the future.
"I'm finished. I have no career in law. Nobody is going to hire me," she said.
