It's not easy psychologically. Most people, if they study hard, will end up with a 2:1 - that's true. But to get a first class in law from any uk universities require raw talent, hard work and genuine capability.
It's far easier to get a first or 2.1 in the UK compared to locally, even in UCL/LSE.

NUS FCH (2014/2015): 5%, 2.1: 50%
UCL FCH (2014/2015): 16%, 2.1. 74%

Plus this doesn't include the fact that local grads are typically better muggers than the Brits.
