I think that's a good compilation judging from the recent hiring trends of law firms. IMO the first class from Oxbridge are usually the legal service scholars so it's not common to see them in firms. Unless they have served their bonds and decide to leave the service. So that leaves law firms with (2), (3), (4). With the influx, (5) is not a good position to be in.

3) NUS, SMU, LSE, UCL good second uppers / magna cum laude. Ranked equally are first class honours from King's College London.
4) NUS, SMU, LSE, UCL poor second uppers / cum laude. Ranked equally are first class from all other Australian and UK schools,
5) NUS, SMU, LSE, UCL second lowers / merit. Ranked equally are all other UK and Australian degrees that are non-first-class, e.g. nottingham, bristol, [insert other random name] etc.

TLDR; only first class from Oxford, Cambridge, NUS, and SMU are regarded highly. First class from other schools are nowhere near.
