Kathleen “Kate” McCabe vacationed in Antigua with her husband in early November, forgetting when she booked the trip that it was around the same time the Texas Board of Law Examiners would announce the results of the July 2010 Texas bar exam.
McCabe, who graduated from the University of Texas School of Law in May, says she logged onto a computer at her hotel a couple times — at 50 cents per minute — to check for online bar exam results. On Nov. 4, she learned she passed the exam, and she and her husband celebrated at dinner that night in Antigua.
