Most law firms avoid posting jobs on Indeed or LinkedIn due to high costs. Instead, they publish them on their own websites, bar association pages, and niche legal boards. LawCrossing finds these hidden jobs, giving you access to exclusive opportunities. Sign up now!

Maybe you're not a football fan and you're not so interested in the Super Bowl. Maybe you're into other extracurricular activities…like extreme sports. If you're into something like jumping off buildings, I have a word of advice for you: be careful. Not just careful about your safety but careful that you don't get prosecuted for reckless endangerment. According to QuizLaw, professional stunt jumper Jeb Corliss was charged with reckless endangerment after (successfully and safely) jumping off the Empire State Building. According to the police and prosecutors who charged him, by jumping off the building, he was risking the lives of bystanders who might have been walking on the street below. The court apparently did not agree with this logic and dismissed the charges against Corliss. Lucky guy…let's just hope he stays lucky and doesn't die jumping off another building.

Maybe you're really low key and your hobbies don't include participating in extreme sports or watching football. Perhaps you enjoy more relaxed activities, like…smoking pot. If that's the case, then I have good news for you. On DUI Blog, I read about a new study that found smoking pot does not impair your ability to drive a motor vehicle. While for most of us this seems like the kind of activity that people should be charged with reckless endangerment for, it must be pretty good news for stoners who want to make runs to the Taco Bell drive-thru to quell their munchies.
