Exactly, I was at a general scholarship meeting at UWS in 06 and there were a lot of people there who got into UWS law and had UAI's over 90. I saw people there with UAI's of 98+ and many of the people there, incl myself had high enough UAI's to get into uni's like UNSW full fee. That said UAI is not indicative of academic performance at university level.
To the OP intro to law is much different to 'substantive law subjects' and most people find their university marks improve as they get used to the academic writing style required at university, time management. independant learning etc.. give yourself a bit more time. Look at what there reasons were for your poor marks and learn from it. Most academics are willing to help and give feedback - pointers, after a terrible first attempt at writing a solution to a legal problem (my structure was all over the place...actually there was little if any structure) I sat down with the academic who explained what I did wrong and it helped me a lot.
Good luck
