Before deciding which would be hard to graduate from, you need to think about which would be easier to enter. Both are on a doctorate level, so both will require a lot of hard work. You need to have an aptitude for the type of work you do in order to be successful. After graduation, both areas require you to take exams to get your license to practice.
You may be more successful in choosing if you go to your university advisor and ask them. They can help you take an aptitude test which will show you in which area you would be better suited and more successful.

Hey man Im in the same predigament as you.....I have been planning on becoming a lawyer for about 6 months (I was 16). Last night my parents really told me to find a major. Thus, I searched the Internet adn called a few people. Unfortuanely, I got the same answer. This being that you either make it big or not. You do need a good law school though, but not only Ivy schools. My cousins who are lawyers said to be a sort of special lawyer. Not just a normal paralegal but like an environmental lawyer. IF you really want a guaranteed job you should become a medical lawyer. However, this is alot of work, considering you must become a full doctor and a full lawyer. It is a person that is a doctor and a lawyer. Alot of schooling, but too be honest you will make a fortune. Im deciding whether or not to do that. What do you think? I need answeres too lol

The KEY thing to remember is that to become a Chiropractor, you do not need to go to medical school, which is extremely tough. Instead, you can go to Chiropractic college. Now many doctors (M.D.'s) frown on this because they don't go to med school and don't get the same in-depth training.
Law school by contrast, requires you to first get a Bachelor's degree and then go on for graduate study in law school (college or university). So there's no separate law school vs. a university. Law is studied through a university, so it's an intensive graduate school education.
Now which is harder all depends on the student. Some would say law is harder, while others would say chiropractic. Since you're not "science-friendly," chiropractic college may be harder for you. But that doesn't mean that you should study law because that's tough too. And so is the bar exam, which has to be taken in each state where you want to practice.
So I suggest looking into both and speaking with the admissions and/or deans of those departments. They are in a much better position to let you know which you are more cut-out for.
I've had students who don't like math, but are good in it. Others aren't good in it, but do well enough to get through. So it all depends on your strengths, likes, motivation, and desire.

I just said this on another post but I think that it bears repeating here:
Don't be one of the people that attends law school because they don't know what else to do with their life. You'd better love research, reading and writing or else you will hate law school and you probably won't do well in it. I loved a lot of law school but I don't think I could have gotten through it without my inherent love of the law and my lifelong dream to be a lawyer. Sometimes I just wanted to quit because it's hard, tiring, and frustrating.
Law school is no joke. The first year is pure hell and it's HARD. Property, for example, was harder to me than Organic Chemistry (which I took in college). The laws are archaic and don't seem to make a lot of sense. No one is there to hold your hand or help you when you have problems. Most people in their first year get out of class around 1 p.m. and study until 9 or 10 p.m. to get all of their reading done. And even when you get that done you have to go to class and be screamed at by professors who love the "Socratic method" (i.e., humiliating you at random in front of your classmates). Law school is not easy and you should not enter it unless you WANT to be a lawyer and you're wiling to WORK for it. If you're entering it just because you're not good at science you will probably end up kicked out of law school after your first year (or semester).
When people who never wanted to be lawyers in the first place face the difficulties of law school, they drop out or get kicked out. So think long and hard before you decide to go to law school and be a lawyer. It's not like college and being a lawyer is nothing like t.v. It's hard work and you get paid peanuts. You really have to be dedicated or you'll go nuts!

chiropractic i would think because you are not good in science.
I strongly recommend that you look at another field such as pharmacy or dental, with the way insurance companies are any more it very tough to make good money in chiropractic. I am back in school for dentistry

hard is not the issue with this question.
only you can answer what it is that you will enjoy more.
that is the question-what will you enjoy doing-
hard is nothing when it comes to school work-war is hard-bombs going off around you is hard.
