The heart of Silicon Valley; its superior court's complex civil division hears many of the technology industry's trade secret, employment, and corporate disputes. Venue for most real estate matters arising in the county lies with the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, seated at San Jose.

The law also keeps time: three years for trespass or injury to real property; four years on written contracts (§ 337) under Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 338(b). Adverse possession and prescriptive easement claims require five years of qualifying use (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. §§ 321–325). Seller non-disclosure claims sound in fraud: three years from discovery (§ 338(d)). The plaque below carries the citation; the roster that follows carries the rest.
