The firm I trained at would not interview anyone with less than a 2:1 from a Russell Group university. The applicant's secondary school never came into it. They also preferred slightly older applicants who had worked in other fields and then retrained as lawyers.

Surely discrimination relates more to the university one has attended, and the class of degree, rather than the school (unless you're an Old Etonian etc)?
