ATTORNEY, ASSISTANT CHIEF COUNSEL

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Salary range: $14,513.00 - $17,742.00 (monthly? likely monthly). So Pay section. - Work Location: Los Angeles County. Telework: Hybrid. Job Type: Permanent, Full Time. Facility: Executive Office. Department Information: description of SCO, Executive Office. - Job Description and Duties: many bullet-like sentences. - Special Requirements: Take the required examination here: Attorney V Examination. - Who May Apply: eligibility details. - How To Apply: instructions (but we must remove application instructions per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we must drop application instructions. - Required Application Package Documents: also application instructions, drop. - EEO boilerplate: drop. - Also "How did you hear about us? Take our survey!" drop. - "Visit our website to learn more about the State Controller’s Office." maybe part of department info but could be considered boilerplate? It's not essential; but we can keep if it's substantive? Probably drop as it's generic. - "New to State candidates will be hired into the minimum salary of the classification or minimum of alternate range when applicable." That's pay detail. - "# of Positions: 1" maybe minor metadata; could be folded into short p. - "Working Title: Assistant Chief Counsel" but we shouldn't repeat job title as heading; we can include in a paragraph maybe. - "Classification: ATTORNEY, ASSISTANT CHIEF COUNSEL" - "Job Code #: JC-532932 Position #(s): 051-720-5871-001" drop. - "Facility: Executive Office" maybe part of department info. We need sections: About the role (maybe department info), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (maybe special requirements + who may apply?), Qualifications (maybe classification?), Skills (maybe not explicit), Benefits (not mentioned), Pay (salary range), Schedule (maybe hybrid telework? schedule not given; but we have Telework: Hybrid, Job Type: Permanent, Full Time. Could be schedule? Not explicit hours. Might not include Schedule if no specifics. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It states Telework: Hybrid, Job Type: Permanent, Full Time. That's not exactly schedule (like shift). Might not include Schedule. Could include "Schedule" if we interpret "Permanent, Full Time" as schedule? Probably not; better to omit Schedule if not explicit. Benefits: not mentioned, omit. Skills: not explicit list; maybe we can infer from duties but not explicit; better omit if not explicit. Qualifications: maybe classification spec? Not given details. Could include "Classification: ATTORNEY, ASSISTANT CHIEF COUNSEL" as qualification? Might be thin. But we need to include only when posting has real specific content. It does state classification. Could be considered qualification. We'll include a Qualifications section with that line. Requirements: special requirements (Attorney V Examination) and who may apply (eligibility). That's substantive. Responsibilities: duties list. About the role: department info description. Pay: salary range plus note about new to state candidates. We must not repeat job title as heading. So headings:

About the role

,

Responsibilities

,

Requirements

,

Qualifications

,

Pay

. Possibly also

Schedule

if we decide to include Telework/Hybrid and Full Time. But schedule usually refers to work hours; not given. Safer to omit. We must use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use

  . For About the role we have prose paragraphs; we can put in

  . For Responsibilities we have many duties; we can make a

  with each duty as
  • . For Requirements we have special requirements and who may apply; we can make a
    . For Qualifications we have classification; maybe a

    . For Pay we have salary range and note; maybe a

    . We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all duties exactly as described? The duties are long sentences separated by semicolons. We could split each sentence into separate

    • . Must not lose any detail. Let's extract duties from "Job Description And Duties" paragraph. It starts: "With general direction provided by the Chief Counsel, assist with the day-to-day oversight of the Legal Office as it serves the Controller in the discharge of her constitutional responsibilities. As the Assistant Chief Counsel, organize and direct the caseload consistent with the direction of Chief Counsel, while identifying and implementing new processes and procedures to expedite responses to programmatic legal challenges or controls. The incumbent will be expected to exercise a high level of independence and judgement, but consistent with the expectations of the Chief Counsel. Duties Performed: (Candidates must perform the following functions with or without reasonable accommodations.)" Then list: - Plan, organize, direct, coordinate, and review the work of attorneys whose responsibilities include, but is not limited to the development of legal opinions, responding to legal challenges, evaluating constitutional law related to the State Controller's responsibilities, etc.; facilitate knowledge transfer amongst existing attorneys; mentor, guide, and direct attorneys who are new or inexperienced to the department; - Assist the Chief Counsel in providing oversight of legal staff, implementing training schedules, approving and denying leave usage, evaluating performance, imposing progressive discipline, setting caseload expectations; establishing consistency in legal opinion development; reviewing assignments; identifying corrective actions; - Adhere to and set compliance goals; facilitate negotiations; influence the development of legal strategies in terms of program issues; research complex legal topics in support of decision-making opportunities on behalf of the Chief Counsel; Assess legal threats; coordinate the efforts of outside counsel when called upon to represent the department; assess risk and recommend best practice to better manage risk; - Develop external relationships with other legal offices within different state departments; may be required to coordinate with the Attorney General's Office regarding subject-matter impacting the State Controller’s Office; - Assist in the development of executive legal strategies by identifying historical context, and data analytics; may be called upon to vet legal position as it related to boards and commission; provide legal counsel to Senior Executive Staff members; - Oversee the preparation for lawsuits, identifying best approach, case studies, and relevant court decisions on similar subject-matter; Establish legal premise to proposed legislation and the resulting impact to the department; coordinate the implementation of legal decisions stemming from court rulings, recommendations, or best practices; - Participate in legal governance when applicable, providing legal argument and justifying program/department positioning; provide regulatory advice; ensure compliance with all laws and/or court decisions; - Provide legal insight by applying expert guidance and establishing or promoting legal trends as identified by the Chief Counsel; Represent the Chief Counsel during scheduled meetings, negotiations, hearings, or counseling sessions regarding the various program areas within the SCO; - Provide legal support for cases scheduled for hearing in various venues such as Supreme Court, Federal Courts, Superior Court, State Appellate Court etc.; such cases may include matters of first impression requiring new theories and/or suppositions; - Engage in the most difficult and complex negotiations, legal research, and opinion development; - Meet with high-level representatives of other departments, boards, and commissions, or opposing counsel to negotiate, address issues of interest on behalf of the State Controller’s Office, or mutually agree regarding potential resolutions; - Travel to and from various locations when scheduled for hearings, meetings, or any other representational matters. We need to preserve all that. Could break each bullet after semicolons? But better to keep each duty as a sentence; but there are many semicolons inside. To avoid losing detail, we could keep each bullet as a single
    • containing the whole sentence(s) as they appear, preserving semicolons. That's okay. Thus we will create
      with each duty as
      • . Ensure we include the introductory sentences before "Duties Performed:" as part of responsibilities? Those are also duties. We could include them as separate
      • as well. Let's list responsibilities items: 1. With general direction provided by the Chief Counsel, assist with the day-to-day oversight of the Legal Office as it serves the Controller in the discharge of her constitutional responsibilities. 2. As the Assistant Chief Counsel, organize and direct the caseload consistent with the direction of Chief Counsel, while identifying and implementing new processes and procedures to expedite responses to programmatic legal challenges or controls. 3. The incumbent will be expected to exercise a high level of independence and judgement, but consistent with the expectations of the Chief Counsel. Then the list after "Duties Performed:" each bullet. We'll include all. Now Requirements: - Special Requirements: Take the required examination here: Attorney V Examination. - Who May Apply: Individuals who are currently in the classification, eligible for lateral transfer, eligible for reinstatement, have list or LEAP eligibility, are in the process of obtaining list eligibility, or have SROA and/or Surplus eligibility (please attach your letter, if available). SROA and Surplus candidates are given priority; therefore, individuals with other eligibility may be considered in the event no SROA or Surplus candidates apply. Applications will be screened and only the most qualified applicants will be selected to move forward in the selection process. Applicants must meet the Minimum Qualifications stated in the Classification Specification(s). We could split into two
      • items. Qualifications: Classification: ATTORNEY, ASSISTANT CHIEF COUNSEL. Maybe also mention "New to State candidates will be hired into the minimum salary of the classification or minimum of alternate range when applicable." That's pay detail, not qualification. Thus Qualifications section:

        Classification: ATTORNEY, ASSISTANT CHIEF COUNSEL

We should remove promotional fluff like "Apply today..." and "Visit our website..." as they are boilerplate/application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions, but promotional sentences may be considered boilerplate. Safer to keep the descriptive parts about SCO and EO, but remove calls to action. Let's keep: "The Office of the State Controller (SCO) is the destination employer within the State of California. As California’s chief fiscal officer, the Controller’s Office ensures accountability and transparency of California’s financial practices while promoting fairness and opportunity for all.
