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. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, EEO, etc. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Schedule: posting includes Target Pay Range/Rate: $24.983-$49.966 per hour or $51,965-$103,929 annually. So we have Pay info. Schedule: Not explicitly given; maybe "Full-Time, At-Will". That's schedule type. Could include Schedule section with "Full-Time, At-Will". That is specific. Benefits: listed many benefits. So include Benefits. About the role: we have introductory paragraph about ideal candidate, general statement of duties. Could be About the role. Responsibilities: list of duties from "Examples Of Job Duties". Use

• . Requirements: maybe combine Qualifications? The posting has "Competencies/Qualifications" and "MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS". Could treat Requirements as the minimum qualifications? But we need to avoid duplication. We could have sections: About the role (ideal candidate, general statement), Responsibilities (duties), Qualifications (minimum qualifications and competencies), Skills (maybe from competencies), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not create sections with placeholder text. Ensure each section has content. Let's extract content. About the role: The ideal candidate paragraph and general statement of duties? Actually "IDEAL CANDIDATE:" paragraph. Also "GENERAL STATEMENT OF DUTIES". Could combine. Responsibilities: The bullet list under "Examples Of Job Duties". That's many items. Qualifications: The "MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS" section (education, experience substitutions). Also maybe "Competencies/Qualifications" could be Skills. Skills: The list under "Competencies/Qualifications" (exceptional technical writing, editing, proofreading skills; superior knowledge of grammar; proficiency with MS Office, Adobe Creative Suite, G Suite; solid knowledge of legal terminology; experience reviewing legal opinions; work independently; proficiency with legal citation rules; ability to review pleadings; familiarity with court rules; experience with case management systems; excellent legal research skills; familiarity with references; basic understanding of organizational management and conflict resolution). That's skills. Benefits: The list under "Benefits". Include all. Pay: The Target Pay Range/Rate. Schedule: "Full-Time, At-Will". Also maybe mention work schedule may include nights, weekends, holidays. That's schedule details. Could include that. We must not include application instructions, EEO, etc. Now produce HTML.

  Need to ensure no duplicate content. Let's craft concise but preserve all substantive info. We must not invent or summarize away detail. Must preserve all substantive information. That means we cannot omit details like specific examples of duties, qualifications details, etc. We need to include all details but can format as list items. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Let's extract each piece. About the role: Combine IDEAL CANDIDATE paragraph and GENERAL STATEMENT OF DUTIES. IDEAL CANDIDATE paragraph: "The ideal candidate will join our team ready to serve the Court’s central mission of ensuring equal justice under the law. The candidate will possess meticulous legal and technical editing skills, will pay excessive attention to detail, and will be able to work quickly, accurately, and independently with minimal supervision. The candidate must be able to follow complex legal arguments and be able to scrutinize appellate opinions for consistency, clarity, and conformity with accepted citation styles. The candidate will be well-versed with The Bluebook and possess a strong command of the rules of grammar and usage. The candidate will be able to precisely and effectively communicate stylistic and substantive revisions to the Justices and other staff at the Court. Experience working as an appellate paralegal in a court setting or in private practice is a plus, but not essential to success in this role." GENERAL STATEMENT OF DUTIES: "Acting under the direction of a Supreme Court Justice, Court of Appeals Judge, Supreme Court Chief Clerk, Court of Appeals Chief Clerk, Chief Appellate Attorney, or other designee, perform technical reviews of appellate court dispositions and other documents. Finalists will be subject to a background check." We can combine into a paragraph. Responsibilities: list from "Examples Of Job Duties". Let's capture each sentence as a bullet. Examples Of Job Duties paragraph: "The Appellate Technical Legal Editor (U) is responsible for ensuring the accuracy, consistency, and conformity with technical standards of appellate court dispositions prepared by the Supreme Court or Court of Appeals.Performs thorough and detailed technical review of appellate court dispositions; reviews drafts for proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, vocabulary, consistency, and style; proofreads, cite checks, and ensures overall readability.Formats and edits documents and reviews them for content, subject matter, accuracy, consistency, and completeness.Checks factual and legal citations to ensure accuracy and suggests revisions before publication or distribution to the public.Performs legal research and technical analysis of opinions, records, decisions, orders, and other documents.Reads and reviews cited cases in appellate court dispositions, records, and documents to ensure that they stand for the proposition stated and checks record cites to ensure that the facts are accurately represented.Works closely with members of the legal team to ensure the accuracy of all information.Acts as a source of technical writing and editing expertise.Assists in the continuous review and improvement of practices and processes.Assures citations are correct and in accordance with the New Mexico Appellate Courts Technical Handbook, The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation, and other reliable style and technical guides.Performs legal research using a variety of sources, including electronic databases, case law, statutes, Court rules, law journals, and historical texts; and identifies relevant subsequent legal history when appropriate.Trains and mentors other staff, including law clerks and paralegals, on extensive citation rules, technical reviews, case information, and stylistic conventions.Coordinates the timely processing of documents.Manages processes, documents, records, and files as assigned.Performs other duties as assigned." We need to split into sensible bullet items. Could break at each semicolon or period. Let's create bullets: - Ensure the accuracy, consistency, and conformity with technical standards of appellate court dispositions prepared by the Supreme Court or Court of Appeals. - Perform thorough and detailed technical review of appellate court dispositions; review drafts for proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, vocabulary, consistency, and style; proofread, cite check, and ensure overall readability. - Format and edit documents and review them for content, subject matter, accuracy, consistency, and completeness. - Check factual and legal citations to ensure accuracy and suggest revisions before publication or distribution to the public. - Perform legal research and technical analysis of opinions, records, decisions, orders, and other documents. - Read and review cited cases in appellate court dispositions, records, and documents to ensure they stand for the proposition stated and check record cites to ensure facts are accurately represented. - Work closely with members of the legal team to ensure the accuracy of all information. - Act as a source of technical writing and editing expertise. - Assist in the continuous review and improvement of practices and processes. - Assure citations are correct and in accordance with the New Mexico Appellate Courts Technical Handbook, The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation, and other reliable style and technical guides. - Perform legal research using a variety of sources, including electronic databases, case law, statutes, Court rules, law journals, and historical texts; identify relevant subsequent legal history when appropriate. - Train and mentor other staff, including law clerks and paralegals, on extensive citation rules, technical reviews, case information, and stylistic conventions. - Coordinate the timely processing of documents. - Manage processes, documents, records, and files as assigned. - Perform other duties as assigned. That preserves all. Qualifications: MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS section. Let's capture all details.

Graduation from an accredited law school and not disbarred or suspended from the practice of law by the State of New Mexico or any other jurisdiction may substitute for three (3) years of experience." We need to preserve all. Could format as paragraph or list. Probably paragraph is fine. Skills: from "Competencies/Qualifications". Let's extract each competency.
