Average
You know if you've been averaging a 2:1 you can appeal even if you get a 2:2... extenuating circumstances etc etc. Speak to your union rep... (I was ours when at uni, and I got a few moved up. you just need to ask. and try for it... you can't get a worse grade...)

Unlikely, by the sound of the OP.
I'm not sure that the death of a non-relative would carry much weight, and it doesn't seem to have made much difference to the marks at the time.

And speaking to the Union rep won't help, either. If there're genuine extenuating circumstances and the department is notified in good time, it'll probably bend over backwards to accommodate them. At this stage... the chances aren't so high. Also, exam boards have less and less room to make decisions like this nowardays.

Sorry to piss on your candle like that.

EDIT: On the other hand, if the OP has a history of 2:1s, there seems to be little reason to worry unless something went SERIOUSLY wrong this time...

:(
Still think it's worth it. One of the problems is when you have extenuating circumstances you don't always realise how extenuating they are, and often don't have the psychic energy to pursue it.
But I reckon we need more lawyers from working class backgrounds, there is still surprising bigotry in the field, even among lawyers who advocate for the downtrodden masses.

Only 2.5 hours! Good Luck!

She would have needed to appeal at the time.
and a union rep in a university is as much use as mudflaps on a tortoise in situations like this. If you're genuinely having your performance effected you should speak to your staff mentor or year DoS. Strangely, we are there to help, and unlike idiot sabs who simply want an extra year in Uni getting pissed at the taxpayers expense, we actually can help.

Aye
Matters of academic judgement are nothing to do with the union.
