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!
