San Jose is the largest city in the San Francisco Bay Area, with almost a million inhabitants.  San Jose began in the 18th century as the first town of Spanish California, and retained its political prestige as the first capital of the State of California in 1850.  It remained the chief agricultural city of California, retaining its old world charm, until the expansion of Silicon Valley from Palo Alto and Sunnyvale in the 1950s.

These days, major technology firms call San Jose home, including Adobe, Cisco, eBay, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and Lockheed Martin.  As the U.S. center of intellectual property law, San Jose is not lacking in lawyers.  In fact, over 4,000 lawyers currently practice in San Jose.
