[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 213356, member: 36740"] I do not believe a couple of 2:2’s will be so detrimental to your application, as law firms understand these things happen and there is a mitigating circumstances section in most applications where you can disclose this. I’m aware that Slaughter and May has certain academic expectations. While a First isn’t required, they generally look for strong results towards the upper end of a 2:1. That said, I’ve seen candidates with more average grades still secure offers, which shows it’s not a strict rule - so, if other aspects of your application stand out, they may prioritise those over pure academics.
