You have got to be kidding me with this post. Law School is a Doctorate Degree. You can't be honestly comparing a masters degree to a law school education. A master's degree is far easier academically.
First of all, I am a JD/MBA student right now, and it's my opinion. Other opinions may differ.
But get your facts straight about a law degree. Here's a link explaining the often misunderstood degree.
www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Juris_Doctorate
The ABA, and California Bar, who I worked for, only recently recognized the JD as a law degree with the right to call it a Doctorate (1976, cf: Yale Law School, New Haven, CT).
As strange as this sounds, after the JD comes the Master's or LL.M, and after the LL.M comes either the LL.D (which in many cases is honorary, but in some schools the PhD academic equivalent) or the S.J.D., the law school equivalent of a PhD in most ABA schools that offer that terminal degree. The S.J.D. is the most common PhD equivalent degree and these people are referred to as "Doctor". Some southern states however, who have existing civil and cannon law underpinnings, call all three types of law degrees "Doctor". This information is available from any ABA law school or calbar.org.
I am not being harsh to you but forgive me so I can spare you embarrassment in the future
I got seriously embarrassed on this topic:
As a funny story, I am just a year out of finishing my BA degree, many years ago and searching for a Master's degree, and I walk into the law school of my alma mater, with the Dean, and I ask if I could enroll in the LL.M, or the Master's degree program. They said I needed my JD first, but then I countered and said, "But that's a doctorate!" and they said, "No, it's like your second Bachelor's degree, and for 300 years in this country, until 1976 nationwide, was called the LL.B, or Bachelor's of law, the degree that allows you to sit for the bar." It is the "basic" law degree.
It was a harsh awakening to realize that in no way, in no country on earth, is the JD the same as an MD, OD, DDS, DVM, DPA, DBA, or PhD.
Does that mean the JD is easy? Hell no I say. Is the MBA easy, hell no to that.
And I would also say neither is any Physics, Chemistry, EE, or EL engineering bachelor's degree from anywhere. And neither is the "certification", non-degree CCIE, awarded to only the most expert computer network engineers in the world in Cisco router and switch technologies. When I was in Cisco school, between my BA and my grad studies, I was just there to learn to supplement my Microsoft certification, and while there were millions of students in Cisco certified schools worldwide, only 1,000 people ever achieved the top level certification, or the CCIE.
Another non-degree title that is "brutal" beyond belief is the California CPA Exam.
Not long ago, I went to my Dean at my law school and asked why the LL.B of the US/Colonies of 300 years or so and other early schools (Columbia, William and Mary, Virginia and some other eastern schools) finally agreed to the JD title unanimously in the 1970s from coast to coast, it was because of an educational reason for pay/benefits. Funny how money comes into play in almost everything. You will learn about "deep pockets" and the famous "Palsgraf" case in Torts and Remedies in law school if you embark on that path.
He told me that people like him and other law professors and Deans never received the same respect and pay/benefits as their co-workers who had PhDs. Ironically, many an LL.B, including our county's presiding judge emeritus, decided to keep his LL.B designation since that's what he came in for at Cal's Boalt Law School, and that's what he worked his ass for, with honors and the coveted Order of the Coif which eventually landed him on a fast track to Judgeship. Nobody is going to ask him if he kept his LL.B or if he decided to receive a new diploma with his name on it that said, "Juris Doctor".
