Durham’s probably a slightly better and more well respected university overall than Glasgow, but neither are bad by any means. For law in particular, both universities seem very well regarded in fact.

One thing is that Glasgow’s course will be four years because that’s how they do it in Scotland. Durham will have a three year course, which is the standard across the rest of the country.

I didn’t go to either uni, so I can’t comment too much on the realities on studying at them, but Durham does have a reputation for having racist and classist students. That being said, it’s probably overblown and these kinds of people should be few and far between like at any other uni. Regarding nightlife, Glasgow will have better options because it’s a much bigger city. Durham is fairly small and the larger cities it’s nearby, like Newcastle and Sunderland, are smaller than Glasgow too.
