There's enough differences in state law that that would be a separate specialization by itself.

Ugh, can you imagine having to get skills for every state, let alone country? Many states have reciprocity, so a lawyer licensed in Idaho can get a license in Montana without having to take another bar exam. Some states, notably California, do not. Nonetheless, I don't think these are separate skills. Familiarities for sure!
