Hello, this is my first post here :)

I am currently doing a double Law degree between France and England, which will give me both an English LLB and a French License (the french equivalent of an LLB). I did my first two years in Essex University in Law, and am now back in France doing my third year.

My problem is that my second year grades are only worth a 2:2 currently (54), and i'm afraid that if i get similar grades for my third year, i will be locked out of all the good LLMs. I read around this website that LLMs from badly ranked Universities are essentially useless as well, meaning that if i cannot get a good LLM, i might as well not do one at all.

My question is this: can other factors compensate for my low grades ? Those factors being:

- Possessing a French law degree on top of my LLB.
- Having to do both degrees at the same time as extenuating circumstances (the increased workload has not helped my grades).
- Having 6 months of experience in law firms in Paris, New York and Hong Kong.

Thank you very much for your time.
