Aaah, I've applied for Law too. Unfortunately I don't think they will accept you if you miss the grades.

This i a quote from the Law Dept website:

'Our standard offer is grades AAB in the 3 subjects taken at A Level and grade B in the fourth AS Level (ASUB) subject, which was not carried onto A level. These results must have been obtained within 2 years’ study. Resits are not accepted unless there was mitigation for the first attempt. A students who fails to achieve the target offer are unlikely to get a place.'

I know King's have given out too many offers in the past few years and ended up 'overshooting' - i.e. having too many applicants accept it as their firm choice. Therefore, this is why they are unlikely to take you if you miss your grades - they will probably have plenty who make their offers.

The best thing to do is to email Jane Henderson (Deputy Associate Head of UG Admissions) and ask her:
