Since many more people are involved in investing and otherwise diversifying their assets, there is also a lot of growth in tax law and estate planning, which is my practice area.

Privacy and internet law. Brandeis is flipping in his grave.

Check out the Berkman Center for Internet and Society

Holy moly I would say the legality and ethics of stem cell and other biological research which you know will eventually cover cloning of everything, I can see that is the next fronteer of law.
