If you graduated bottom of your class and just about scraped by the whole way then questions such as would you really be able for academic law at a more difficult level or even what would you give back long term to the legal profession that would justify picking you as opposed to another arguably more academic candidate. On the other hand if what you meant was you graduated somewhere in the middle third of your class, your marks were fine if not fantastic etc then there are UK universities worth applying to. I know people who got into Edinburgh, UCL and KCL on not fantastic results. You probably wouldn't get the top-tier colleges but then if you're looking specifically at IP you may not want them. Having said all that I personally felt that Cambridge did weigh up some factors other than my academics as I got an offer quite early but I was probably still within (if at the lower end of) thhe results that they offer to.
