Baltimore began as a trading post for tobacco and sugar, but quickly converted into an industrial city towards the end of the 19^th century. Unskilled workers and immigrants came to Baltimore in droves to take up high-paying jobs in the steel, shipping, and auto manufacturing factories. When Baltimore transitioned to a service economy starting in the 1960s, many Baltimore workers were left high and dry. The crime rate of the city skyrocketed, and major rioting occurred after Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated.

These days, Baltimore is cutting down on crime, and is home to major companies such as Black & Decker and T. Rowe Price. Many lawyers are needed to help Baltimore keep revitalizing, as residents disproportionately suffer from the sub-prime mortgage fallout. Over 10,000 lawyers currently practice in Baltimore.
