We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: Overview (maybe not needed as heading? The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to parse the posting. It includes Overview (first paragraph). Then Responsibilities (multiple paragraphs). Then Qualifications (multiple). Then Additional Details (some). Then Benefits (multiple). Also Pay info: "Potential starting salary range: $146,875.00 - $180,000.00" etc. Also schedule: "Our Benefits Because work-life balance is a priority at State Farm, compensation is based on our standard 38:45-hour work week!" So schedule info: standard 38:45-hour work week. Also mention hybrid role: location and hybrid arrangement. Also mention travel, irregular hours, relocation benefits.
We need to decide sections: Overview (maybe as
About the role? but they said use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose appropriate headings based on content. Overview could be "About the role". Responsibilities heading. Qualifications heading (maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications). Skills heading (maybe separate). Benefits heading. Pay heading. Schedule heading.
We must not create sections with filler. Ensure we have substantive content.
Let's extract content:
Overview paragraph: "Being good neighbors – helping people, investing in our communities, and making the world a better place – is who we are at State Farm. It is at the core of how we operate and the reason for our success. We're moving with urgency to become a Next Gen Good Neighbor, with technology that strengthens human connections and enhances the customer experience. As an employee, you'll spend less time navigating systems and more time applying judgment, empathy, and expertise in the moments that matter most."
Responsibilities: Several paragraphs:
- "Grow Your Skills, Grow Your Potential As a Fortune 50 company, we hire the best employees to serve our customers, making us a leader in the insurance and financial services industry. In 2024, the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity named State Farm a Top Performer and Compass Award Winner. Additionally, Fortune named State Farm one of the World’s Most Admired Companies. Our mission is to provide high quality legal services in a cost-effective manner and to act as strategic thinking partners for our client and customers. To succeed, we need self-starters who are agile, creative, collaborative, strategic, passionate, and communicative. Daniel Brown & Associates, insurance staff counsel for State Farm Insurance Companies, is seeking an Attorney to join the Westchester, NY Claim Litigation office. While every day can provide different experiences and opportunities, the role involves case ownership, participating in litigation events, and meeting with clients. We encourage a collaborative environment where our attorneys can assist each other and have access to support staff while maintaining ownership of their files. As a result of not being billed by the hour, our attorneys have the opportunity to strategize on trial and case development as it passes through litigation. State Farm creates an environment inclusive of career development opportunities. The position is classified as a hybrid role, meaning that the work arrangement calls for hours in the office and virtually. Everyone in a hybrid role is required to spend time in the office. Work arrangements could change over time based on business needs. LOCATION: 500 Mamaroneck Avenue, Harrison, NY 10528"
- Then bullet list: "Responsibilities include, but are not limited to Handle litigation and other legal assignments in accordance with guidelines established by the Law DepartmentPrepare and summarize reports for proceedingsTrial strategy and case developmentAttend litigation events including trials, mediations, depositions, and hearings"
Note: The bullet list seems missing commas; but we can treat each as separate list items.
Qualifications: "Previous experience required 2+ years of civil litigation experience, preferably in the practice areas of insurance defense, medical malpractice, personal injury, or workers compensation"
Key Skills Required: "Knowledge of local and state discovery rules, trial procedures, and applicable substantive law commensurate with level of experienceTrial, mediation, and deposition experienceFile ownershipEffective written and oral communication skills"
Technology/software Experience Required: "Ability to work efficiently with cases in electronic formWorking knowledge of a Case Management systemWorking Knowledge of a Document Storage system"
Education requirements: "J.D. from an A.B.A. Accredited Law School with excellent academic credentialsMust have an active law license to practice in the state of New York and a member in good standing with the State Bar of New York"
Additional Details: "Applicants are required to be eligible to lawfully work in the U.S. immediately. State Farm will not sponsor applicants for U.S. work opportunitiesOther than authorized and pro bono work, State Farm attorneys are not permitted to handle any legal business outside of State Farm and candidates must cease all outside practice and all suit involvement before joining State FarmTravel via personal or commercial transportation to job related activities is an essential functionIrregular hours may be requiredRelocation benefits may be available depending on eligibility and position"
Benefits: Long paragraph with many bullet-like sentences. We'll need to extract into list items.
Pay: "Potential starting salary range: $146,875.00 - $180,000.00Starting salary will be based on skills, background, and experienceHigh end of the range limited to applicants with significant relevant experiencePotential yearly incentive pay up to 24% of base salary"
Schedule: "Our Benefits Because work-life balance is a priority at State Farm, compensation is based on our standard 38:45-hour work week!" Actually that sentence is under Benefits heading but mentions schedule. Also hybrid role mentions hours in office and virtually.
We need to avoid duplication. We'll create sections:
About the role
with overview paragraph.
Responsibilities
with paragraph(s) and ul list.
Qualifications
maybe combine experience, skills, tech, education.
But we could split: Requirements
for experience, Skills
for skills/tech, Education and Licenses
for education. However instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Qualifications and Skills into one section? But they gave examples of headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use multiple if substantive.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with level of experience" - that's placeholder? Actually it's part of the sentence: "Knowledge of local and state discovery rules, trial procedures, and applicable substantive law commensurate with level of experience". That includes "commensurate with level of experience" which is filler? It's not exactly placeholder like "commensurate with experience" but still maybe considered filler? The instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. So we should avoid including the phrase "commensurate with level of experience" as it's similar to "commensurate with experience". Might be considered filler. Better to rephrase? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. We cannot remove that phrase if it's part of the original content? The instruction says remove filler/placeholder text. So we can omit that phrase as it's filler. However we must preserve substantive info: "Knowledge of local and state discovery rules, trial procedures, and applicable substantive law". That's substantive. So we can drop the "commensurate with level of experience" part.
Similarly "High end of the range limited to applicants with significant relevant experience" maybe not filler but substantive.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with only filler.
Let's draft sections:
About the role: overview paragraph.
Responsibilities: include paragraph about role (Grow Your Skills... LOCATION) and then ul list of specific responsibilities.
Qualifications: maybe combine experience, skills, tech, education.
But we could have:
Requirements
for experience (2+ years civil litigation, preferably areas).
Skills
for knowledge of discovery rules, trial procedures, substantive law; trial/mediation/deposition experience; file ownership; communication skills; ability to work electronically; case management system; document storage system.
Education and Licenses
for JD from ABA accredited law school, active NY law license, member in good standing.
But that's many sections; maybe combine Requirements and Skills into Qualifications.
Given instruction to prefer few substantive sections, we could have:
About the role
Responsibilities
Qualifications
(includes experience, skills, tech, education)
Benefits
Pay
Schedule
That's 6 sections.
Now extract content for each.
About the role: Use the overview paragraph exactly.
Responsibilities: Need to include the paragraph that describes role (Grow Your Skills... LOCATION) and then the bullet list.
We need to ensure we don't duplicate location as separate heading; it's within responsibilities paragraph.
Let's copy the responsibilities paragraph exactly as in text (maybe trim extra spaces). It starts after "Overview". Actually the responsibilities section begins with "Grow Your Skills, Grow Your Potential As a Fortune 50 company..." We'll include that whole paragraph up to "LOCATION: 500 Mamaroneck Avenue, Harrison, NY 10528". Then after that, there is a line break and then "Responsibilities include, but are not limited to Handle litigation and other legal assignments in accordance with guidelines established by the Law DepartmentPrepare and summarize reports for proceedingsTrial strategy and case developmentAttend litigation events including trials, mediations, depositions, and hearings". That seems like a list but missing punctuation. We'll split into list items:
- Handle litigation and other legal assignments in accordance with guidelines established by the Law Department
- Prepare and summarize reports for proceedings
- Trial strategy and case development
- Attend litigation events including trials, mediations, depositions, and hearings
We'll put those in - .
Now Qualifications: Need to include experience, skills, tech, education.
We'll combine into one section with maybe sub-paragraphs or lists.
Experience: "Previous experience required 2+ years of civil litigation experience, preferably in the practice areas of insurance defense, medical malpractice, personal injury, or workers compensation"
Skills: We'll list:
- Knowledge of local and state discovery rules, trial procedures, and applicable substantive law
- Trial, mediation, and deposition experience
- File ownership
- Effective written and oral communication skills
- Ability to work efficiently with cases in electronic form
- Working knowledge of a Case Management system
- Working Knowledge of a Document Storage system
Education/Licenses:
- J.D. from an A.B.A. Accredited Law School with excellent academic
