From personal experience, I'd say that Torts and Property are the most interesting, that Contracts is the most difficult of the branches of law, and that Legal Writing and Research is the toughest, period. (Knowing how to write well definitely does NOT help in Legal Writing.)
Here, have a poem!
When one talks of hereditaments, misprisions and indentures, Of chattels and of mortgages, of choses and debentures, Of assumpsit, debt and covenant, of trespass and attainders, Of writs of habeas corpus, of reversions and remainders, Of attaching and conveyancing, of signing and indorsing, Of femes, both sole and covert, separating and divorcing, Of words of twenty letters, which you'd think would break his jaw, You will then know that the fellow's just begun to study law.
(No idea who wrote it--it appears to have been published anonymously--but it dates back to 1892, at least.)
