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.

Jim Lloyd, who is the Army Corps team leader for the region, told reporters that he'd been given the go ahead, but that ''we've got two more cells of lightning that need to move through here before we start to pump''. He's referring to the storm system making its way across the region on Sunday night. The area's expected to receive several more inches before the system moves east. The Mississippi River is expected to crest later this week and could prove catastrophic for some areas. The mayor for Cairo ordered all residents to evacuate over the weekend once it was announced the Court of Appeals ruling would be brought to the Supreme Court. Illinois state troopers are on site now while area prisoners are filling sandbags at one end of the town in an effort to offset the flooding, should the levees collapse before the explosions are put into place.
Part of their concerns include ''underseepage''. The town has the Mississippi River on one side with the Ohio River on the other; both are dangerously high and because there's nowhere for the water to go, it's seeping under the levees and into the banks, where it's clear the ground is quickly becoming too saturated. Calling it ''Project Flood'', General Michael Walsh, commander of the Mississippi Valley Division of the Corps, said the legal fight has been ''agonizing'' and that someone will suffer. The deliberations even before
the legal avenues were pursued were difficult. He and his team have toured the region several times and have carefully reviewed all data, but say at some point, something has to give, even as the rain continues to fall during the interview.
It's likely the explosions will begin early this week, after the storms pass through Sunday and into Monday. That is, unless the levees give before then.
