Depends. Based on numbers, Law school is much easier to get into i.e. if you have a great GPA and LSAT score you'll get into lots of school. Even with a top ten% MCAT and a great GPA, you're not guaranteed to get into Med school.
Applying to Law school is way cheaper: ~$75 a school vs. >$130 for medical school. You only have to write (usually) one personal statement for law school, and you can use it for almost all law schools, where as each Med school application is very different, and requires several essays. Medical schools also require an interview, which is costly, cause you have to fly out there to be interviewed.
The LSAT is easier than the MCAT, and there aren't any prerequisites to take the LSAT. You could even take it in high school and do well.

In general, med school is definitely harder to get in to. There are too many law schools. Even the ABA approved ones (the bottom ranked ones) will take nearly anyone.
Law school and med school aren't easy. Yes, there comes a point where even a ABA law school will stop accepting people, but at that point, the student is so bad that maybe grad school really shouldn't be in their plans.

I went to law school. I don't think I would stand a chance of getting into med school.

medical school is harder. Not only the standards to get in are sky high, but also the number of people applying for the same position is unbelievable.

I did both..had a change of heart.
They are both about the same.
The classes at Berkley seemed easier,
Stanford was really hard, but maybe
because I did it first. Maybe it just
depends on the school you try for.
Some are easier to get into and from
year to year, seem easier to finish in.

If you like Mathematics, major in Accounting. You'll make like 50K/year, maybe upwards of 100K with the right experiences and Master's degree. If you like Writing, go to Law School. You'll make 80-120K/year. If you like Science and dealing with people in need, go to Med School. You'll make 140-200K/year. From what you said of your experiences and skills, I'd saw Law School will be the best fit.

you can't really compare the two. they have different requirements for admission and most people have skills and interests geared for one or the other.
