I have just a little bit of sympathy for Quami Frederick, the young woman who faked her undergrad degree to get into Osgoode Hall.
A single mother, she now has $80,000 in student debt that she will have a tougher time paying back without a law career.
Fredrick recently resigned from her position at Wildeboer Dellelce.
But the sympathy quickly dissolves when The Star reveals today that she faked her law school marks too to get the job with Wildeboer Dellelce.
The altered marks, with a C upgraded to A in some cases, came to light when the law firm and Osgoode shared notes on Frederick.
Fredrick will be going to formal inquiry at Osgoode. Whereas some leniency or remedial work may have been possible with just the undergrad situation, the fact that she continued this dishonesty all the way through law school does not bode well for her future.
Dale Brazao at The Star also gives us a shout out,
In the last three days Frederick has become a cause célèbre among bloggers on the Internet, who have posted reactions ranging from outrage and mockery to praise for Frederick for beating the system.
We love you too, especially for catching the dishonest people that exclude other hard-working applicants to law school, and perpetuate fraud in the legal hiring practice.
