Assistant Corporation Counsel - Attorney
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide which sections to include.
We have: About the role (maybe a brief overview). Could be first paragraph summarizing role. Then Responsibilities (list of duties). Then Requirements (maybe licensure, background check, driver's license). Then Qualifications (education, experience). Then Skills (knowledge areas). Then Pay (salary grade). Then Schedule (full-time 40 hrs). Benefits not present, so omit.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from posting.
Let's extract:
Job description paragraph: "Under the general direction of the Corporation Counsel, this attorney position provides civil legal services, advice and representation for Douglas County.

Then note: "*Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these essential functions. FLSA status: Exempt. Full-time based on 40 hours per week. 2026 salary grade: $42.42 - $45.86"
Then "OTHER EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS: Graduation from an ABA accredited law school, Juris Doctor degree.

But that's basically the whole description; maybe we split responsibilities into list. Better: About the role short paragraph summarizing; Responsibilities as- each duty.
We need to preserve all substantive info; we can break into list items each duty.
Let's extract duties as bullet points:
- Responds to legal inquiries, rendering legal assistance and opinions to departments within Douglas County government.
- Litigates cases and initiates and conducts legal proceedings.
- Drafts legal documents.
- Performs appellate work when necessary.
- Represents the interests of the State of Wisconsin as attorney for the child support agency, including commencement and handling of legal proceedings for establishment of paternity, child support, child support modification, review, enforcement and related issues.

- Performs other duties as required.
That covers.
Now Requirements: maybe licensure, background check, driver's license, FLSA exempt, full-time? Actually schedule is separate. Requirements could be: Must successfully pass criminal background checks. Valid driver's license or other reliable transportation to perform job duties plus driving record that meets County standards required. Reasonable accommodations may be made... FLSA status: Exempt. (maybe that's more about classification). But we can put under Requirements.
Qualifications: Education: Graduation from an ABA accredited law school, Juris Doctor degree. State of Wisconsin Law Licensure required. 2 years of active legal practice experience as a licensed attorney prior to the date of application preferred. Demonstrated knowledge and legal practice experience in the fields of family law, administrative, mental health, guardianships, collections, open meetings and public records law, and code enforcement desired.
Skills: Could be the knowledge areas: family law, administrative, mental health, guardianships, collections, open meetings and public records law, code enforcement. Also maybe legal research, drafting, litigation, appellate work, contract review, ordinance drafting, public records consultation.
But we might combine knowledge areas under Qualifications or Skills. Since we have both sections, we can put education/licensure/experience under Qualifications, and the specific knowledge areas under Skills.
Pay: 2026 salary grade: $42.42 - $45.86 (likely hourly). We'll put as

About the role

But we already captured many duties in responsibilities; the about role could be brief. Alternatively we could omit About the role and start with Responsibilities.
