Wikipedia:WikiProject Law/Categorization

Given the breadth and depth of law across the globe, it should prove very helpful to map out topics in law. The categorization should be oriented to accommodate the law of all countries, and so should incorporate many ways of classifying law. To discuss different approaches, see the discussion page.

The model for this page largely comes from the similar clinical medicine page. Refer to it for better understanding of how the page should look.
