Currently, there are four sub-specialization under Law/Patents on this site:
1. Law (general)
2. Law (contracts)
3. Law (patents, trademarks, etc.)
4. Law (taxation and customs).
Which means that every legal specialization that is not about contracts, patents/trademarks, and taxation/customs falls under a broad category of law (general). In my opinion, this category is too broad. It covers such diverse categories as criminal law, family law, probate law, etc. I am convinced that it would greatly help outsourcers, direct clients and everyone else if more categories are added.
Another category of specialization I would like to be added is legal-medical, or medical-legal. In other words, law as it applies to medical care. This would include such documents as consent form (consent given by a patient to have a certain procedure performed), advanced health care directive, patient's rights and conditions of admission (these two are posters you would see in any U.S. hospital) and the like. This would also include interpretation in QME (Quality Medical Examination) - examination conducted by a doctor with the purpose of determining the amount of award in a law suit, usually a personal injury or worker's compensation lawsuit.
I respectfully submit this proposal to your consideration.
