Hi Omnidragon,
It's difficult to say whether a H2A (75-ish) average in
Law will land people jobs. I'd say that it would certainly provide for a decent handful of interviews but I strongly agree that firms do look beyond marks for recruitment. I do know of people in my year who missed out on jobs despite having H1s, H2As etc but obviously, most people with high averages did end up with jobs although I strongly suspect that they had a strong overall profile too. Marks are a culling tool but it's the profile and interview that counts. That said, interviews create opportunities and you may need to get at least a H2A to get your foot in the door for interviews at the major firms for vacational and graduate positions.
I hope that helps!
David
