Does the type of law school(university) you go to affect how you get employed in the future?

Ok so I’m about to start college and I’m doing A level law and 3 other subjects. I want to try and do both environmental law apprenticeship and criminal law in uni after college. My mom and I had an argument about grades and everything. She has very high expectations of me like wants me to just get A+ on everything and 90% and all that and I don’t. Not saying I want to fail, I will study hard but would be more happy with just a general pass rather than super excellent high end grades like that. So she said that I will need to get those high end grades if I want to go into a nice university that offers law because if I don’t and just go to an ordinary university then I’ll fail. And this is like stressing me out, she’s and African parent and I keep trying to tell her like it don’t matter as long as I get good normal grades and attend a general law school but she keeps being rigid about it and talking down on me and saying I’ll send you back to Zimbabwe and you’ll do college there(we came to the uk from Zimbabwe getting citizenship next year) and uhh ye. I know I rambled on and on but what she said about “if I don’t get into a top top university then I won’t be able to get into a good job” got me thinking like is this true? So law schools teach different things like does it really matter? Will law firms pick people just because they have gone to a prestigious school and gotten highest good grades I guess and people who haven’t gotten the highest good grades but still good are just left and not picked?
