I cant really say, but I do legal, and i can promise that you'll find it very enjoyable as you discover how our legal system is structured, and the justice systems (courts). It does, however, require you to put in the hard yards, and you do have to consistently do practice questions and revise the study design in order that you stay on top of your workload.

Personally, I have found it enjoyable so much so, that i don't even really think that i'm doing legal homework, but rather it became sort of an outlet where i can relax while actually I'm doing set work.

But as i said, this is a bit biased, as I haven't done Psychology.

It's probably easier to score higher in psychology, but they're both pretty similar, so it depends on the person.

Both have quite a bit of content, but I'd say psychology has a bit more memorisation compared to legal. If your writing skills are strong, then this will help you immensely in legal studies as it involves a lot more writing. By comparison, psych can be a lot less straining because there is a multi choice section and the application isn't as difficult, arguably.

In my opinion, the content within both subjects is quite enjoyable, so memorising things isn't too tedious. They're also both fairly open in the sense that you don't need to be a genius or have prior knowledge to do either.
