1272 fail law school exam 29 make first class

I think there may be a bit of a contradiction here!

It's not possible for someone to "fail" a law school exam and still make first class. In most law schools, a student who fails an exam would typically receive a grade of F or D, which would not be sufficient to achieve a first-class grade.

In most grading systems, first-class grades are typically reserved for students who perform exceptionally well, often with grades of A or A+. To achieve a first-class grade, a student would typically need to demonstrate a high level of mastery of the subject matter, strong analytical and critical thinking skills, and excellent writing and communication skills.

If you could provide more context or clarify what you mean by "fail law school exam 29 make first class", I'd be happy to try and help you understand the situation better!
