Have a look at Leicester too. Also, Lancaster went in clearing and asked for BBB this year, so they don't seem to be in a position where they can afford not to give places out.

Actually, I am surprised how even crap universities like UEA upped their Law requirements to AAA. How can they expect anyone to apply?

Yes do look at Leicester, arguably the best for Law outside the Russell Group. They offer at AAB but are probably lenient as they are usually in clearing. Arguably go for them ahead of Liverpool which is Russell Group and ABB because Liverpool's reputation in the Russell Group is very questionable due to its very high grade leniency.

Liverpool make for a great insurance option, though. I've heard of people being accepted with BBD on ABB courses, so they really are desperate.

Heard that too but it really does not make it worth the students effort as there will then be the 'how on earth did you get in label for them' if they did get much lower and worsen's their career prospects.

Liverpool is probably the worst in the Russell Group. It depends on what law firms you aspire to go to if you want to go into law. If it was for more regional or national, Liverpool would not be a problem. If its commercial law in the city then you would be quite disadvantaged. Leicester, despite not being RG, has a fair record with the city law firms but not as good as the Russell Group bar Liverpool. If you could get AAB and go to Leicester you'd be better off than ABB or below at Liverpool in my opinion.
