First of all, she made her bed--sending an apologetic email to an entire NY law firm like White & Case is unheard of for any 1st year associate, let alone one who is in the public eye. What was she thinking?
Secondly, the NY bar exam should not be that difficult for Ms. Pataki. The top 10 law schools have passage rates upwards of 95%--top NY firms have similar passage rates.
