Not really. In terms of getting hired, your grades and maybe extracurriculars (e.g. mooting wins for dispute roles) are more important - an
NUS FCH will have a leg-up over a Cambridge second-upper.
NUS FCH and Cambridge FCH will both get a close look and the decision will turn on your interview performance rather than the brand name of your school.
In terms of career progression after you are hired, your school becomes totally irrelevant. It's all about on-the-job performance.
