Oxbridge require a first class undergraduate law degree or equivalent for admission to BCL/LLM.However, in my country , 60% marks are equivalent to a first division and the topper usually gets 58-59% marks.
On the other hand, 70% marks are considered first class in the UK system.
What do Oxbridge exactly mean when they say they require a first class degree? What is their criteria for determining first class degree?
Many thanks in advance.

They mean the top classification in you country; eg in the UK it's 70+; in USA GPA 3.5+; etc...you would have to be in the top 5-10% in your year

Top 5-10% is the standard usually applied.
The UK Eduation Department have set up this rather helpful table: http://education.gov.uk/ta-assets/~/media/get_into_teaching/resources/subjects_age_groups/overseas_grade_comparison.pdf
However, bear in mind that Cam/Oxf may have their own tables.
