A few weeks ago, I posted a link to a website that compiles job postings from several of the top law firms in the country. The postings can be sorted by location, position, practice area, etc. If you are interested in continued free access to this information, then you will want to subscribe to the website/newsletter by Friday. Thereafter, there will likely be an $8/month charge.

You can access the website here.
