We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve substantive info.
Let's parse the posting.
Content:
- Fredrikson is the premier Midwest-based law firm... (intro)

- Then EEO boilerplate (remove).
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove navigation/cookie/legal/scams. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove application instructions? The instruction says: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove the line "For assistance with the application process, or for accommodations, please contact lawrecruiting@fredlaw.com." That's an application instruction. Also remove "To express interest should positions arise for our 2027 2L Summer Associate Program (for 2028 JD students), please submit your information and indicate if you have pressing timelines with other firms or organizations." That's also application instruction. Also "Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis." Might be considered instruction? It's about process; maybe keep? It's not exactly instruction to apply but about review. Might be okay. However "Due to the volume of interest, we will contact only those candidates selected to move forward in the recruiting process." That's also process. Might keep as info.
We need to keep substantive info: description of firm, program details, responsibilities, requirements, skills, pay, benefits (maybe mention "highly competitive salaries and comprehensive benefits").
We need to decide sections.
Potential sections:
- About the role: description of summer associate program, what it entails, flexibility, opportunities, etc.
- Responsibilities: list of duties: perform legal research, draft client documents, assist with pro bono projects, shadow attorneys (attend closings, court arguments, witness depositions, client meetings), receive projects via portal/organic assignments.
- Requirements: maybe academic performance? Not explicit GPA. Could be "strong intellectual, analytical, problem-solving, and writing skills, demonstrated leadership". Could be under Skills or Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe "2L law student (2027) for 2028 JD students"? Actually it's for 2027 2L Summer Associate Program (for 2028 JD students). So qualification: currently a 2L law student graduating 2028. Could include that.
- Skills: list of skills: intellectual, analytical, problem-solving, writing, leadership, teamwork, initiative, entrepreneurial spirit, client-service mindset, thrive under pressure, resilience, stamina, motivated by challenge.
- Benefits: "highly competitive salaries and comprehensive benefits" (though we have specific pay). Also maybe mention "opportunity to meet people at the firm, hone skills, become familiar with Minneapolis, enjoy the summer". Could be benefits.
- Pay: "$3,846/week".
- Schedule: maybe "flexible" or "summer". Not explicit schedule; we could omit Schedule section if not specific.
We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So if we don't have schedule specifics, omit Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft.
We'll have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay.
We need to use
for each section heading. Inside each, use
for prose,
- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
Let's extract details.
About the role:
- Fredrikson is the premier Midwest-based law firm working collaboratively to help businesses achieve their goals regionally, nationally, and globally.

Pay: "$3,846/week."
Schedule: Not specific; we could omit.
We must not include boilerplate like "Learn more at fredlaw.com or LinkedIn." That's maybe not substantive? It's a link; could be considered navigation? Might be considered boilerplate. Probably remove.
Also remove "Fredrikson & Byron is a leading Midwest law firm..." duplicate of intro. We'll keep only one description.
We need to avoid duplication.
Let's craft HTML.
We'll start with
About the role
then...
. Inside About the role we can have multiple paragraphs. We'll need to ensure we don't miss any substantive info. Let's list all substantive sentences: 1.
