Not too many of us get good marks in our first semester of law. I don't see what's so bad with getting low credit averages... is it not the case that at many sandstone law schools a 5.2 gpa constitutes second class honours??? How is that bad? I'm in my penultimate year and my law gpa is an extremely low credit average yet I still managed to get a clerkship interview at a big 6 firm. Look at the profiles of judges and leading silks and many of them never even achieved second class honours so surely that means a low credit average is not that bad. My advice is to stick to it (unless you don't enjoy it) even if you're not intending to practice because the skills you learn from completing a law degree cannot be learnt anywhere else and will most likely benefit you for the rest of your life.
