What is the subject area field?

This field describes the legal issues that are involved in the legal threat, including legal claims and defenses. You may choose as many tags as seem to fit the situation. Hold the CTRL key (or Command key, for Macs) while clicking in order to select multiple tags.

Choosing the relevant tags will help make the database more useful and you should err on the side of being over-inclusive if you are unsure whether a tag fits.

The choices for this field are discussed separately.
