I got rejected from Oxford for an LLB in law and I'm between Durham (A*AA), Birmingham (CCC - unconditional) and Bristol (A*AA). I need some help!
I love love love Birmingham, but when I went to look round Durham and Bristol I was looking for philosophy so I think I liked them less because I was looking for a course I didn't actually want to do (have since changed to law).
I'm thinking that Durham might be too small and Bristol too spread out to make good friends but I've heard that they're both better for career prospects than Birmingham, particularly for law. This is the thing that concerns me most about Birmingham
I'm going to all 3 on offers holders day but wanted to know if anyone had any advice/experience of law at any of them??

It's a matter of preference. If you like Birmingham, GO TO BIRMINGHAM. The reason why you see so many bristol, cambridge, oxford graduates for example dominating firms is not because the "firms respect and pick exclusively from these firms" but because applicants with A*AA grades for example tend to go to these universities than for example, Manchester met. Since they will meet the minimum entry requirements for an array of firms, they have already got a chance at getting a TC/job. This is not to say that an applicant from Manchester Met can't also get a job, but they often tend to have grades that may not meet the firms entry requirements. That's all! Ensure that you get the best possible a level results.
A question, why do you think bristol and durham will give better career prospects for law?
Any more questions just ask

from stats i've seen more bristol and durham grads getting training contracts in magic circle firms than birmingham grads. i just don't want to be at a disadvantage in comparison to oxbridge/bristol/durham

You see more bristol and durham grads getting TC's in magic circle firms because birmingham grads are more likely to apply to regional firms whereas bristol and durham may push their students to apply to the MC, or the students there may be more willing to apply to the MC. For example oxbridge students tend to be extremely high achievers and will tend to apply to the MC more, while bham students apply less. THAT'S why in stats they're overrepresented. If you go to birmingham and apply to the MC, they will take NO look at the uni you go to. What they care about is that you meet the minimum entry requirements for their firm and your CV is great.
