We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use only sections that have real content.
We need to parse the posting.
First, remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Why Seyfarth" maybe considered about the firm? Could be "About the role" or "About Seyfarth". The instruction: Use
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use only sections that have real content.
We need to parse the posting.
First, remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Why Seyfarth" maybe considered about the firm? Could be "About the role" or "About Seyfarth". The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role (maybe "Why Seyfarth" is about firm, but we can treat as "About the role" or "About Seyfarth"? The instruction says we can use those headings as examples, not mandatory. We should include sections only if posting has real specific content.
Let's extract content:
- Intro: "Why Seyfarth At Seyfarth, we understand that great people are the key to our success, and we provide the opportunities to match. If you join us, you’ll work with state-of-the-art technology in a friendly and professional environment, and we will continue to invest in your professional development. If you want the freedom to grow at a firm that is invested in your future, keep reading."
That's about the firm; could be "About the role" or "About Seyfarth". Probably "About the role" is appropriate.
- "The Opportunity As an e-Filing Specialist, you will be responsible for electronically filing documents in state and federal courts. In this position, you will be part of a regional and national docketing team that provides support to the firm’s domestic offices."
That's also about role; could be part of About the role.
- "The Day-To-Day On Any Given Day, You Will Know applicable court rules on how to electronically file documents in federal court using the CM/ECF system. When needed, file documents electronically after hours. Be able to file documents in State and appellate courts. Have subject matter expertise on the requirements to e-File documents in federal and state courts across the country. Act as a liaison between the courts and the firm’s attorneys on procedural and technical matters. Respond to procedural inquiries from attorneys. Know how to research court case information to maintain an accurate record. Assist with special projects as assigned by the regional coordinator and the Director and Managing Attorney, Docket. Serve as a back-up for overflow docketing requests, when not e-Filing."
That's responsibilities/duties. So we can have a Responsibilities section with - each bullet.
- "You Have Bachelor's Degree or Equivalent Experience 5-7 years of experience at a large law firm in a litigation support role Experience and subject matter expertise on the filing requirements for federal and state courts Proficiency with e-Filing documents in state and federal courts Ability to research and apply jurisdiction-specific rules and procedures Attention to detail and accuracy under deadlines Time management and ability to multitask Strong written and verbal communication Ability to interpret filing rules and respond to procedural changes Proficiency with common e-filing platforms (e.g., CM/ECF for federal courts, state Court e-Filing platforms) The ability to interpret and analyze information Computer proficient with advanced skills in all Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel and Outlook) required"
That's qualifications/requirements/skills. Could split into Requirements (education, experience) and Skills (technical). But we can combine.
- "What We Provide Seyfarth provides competitive salary and benefits at all levels, and our culture embraces the entrepreneurial spirit of its professionals like no other firm. Our professional staff are a collaborative team, helping to define the unique client experience offered by the firm. We understand that it takes more than attorneys to build a successful legal practice; everyone participates in our commitment to excellence."
That's benefits/culture. Could be Benefits section.
- "More About Seyfarth With approximately 1,000 lawyers across 19 offices, Seyfarth Shaw LLP provides advisory, litigation, and transactional legal services to clients worldwide. Learn more about The Seyfarth Experience at www.seyfarth.com/careers/."
That's about firm; maybe not needed.
- EEO boilerplate to remove.
- "Location Specific Language The salary range for this role is $75,000-$90,000 annually, which is based on a 35 hour work week]. This range is only applicable for jobs to be performed in New York. This is the lowest to highest salary we in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. An employee’s pay within the salary range will be based on numerous factors including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, experience, skills, and business or organizational needs. This job is also eligible for an annual merit increase and bonus pay. We offer a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, and 401(k). This position is based in New York, NY 10018"
That includes Pay and Benefits details. We already have Benefits section; we can include Pay section with salary range. Also schedule: 35 hour work week mentioned. So we can have Schedule section.
We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc.
We must not include duplicated lines.
We must not include application instructions.
We must not include "More About Seyfarth" maybe optional but could be considered About the firm; but we already have About the role. Could include "About Seyfarth" as a section? The instruction says we can use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. It didn't forbid About the company. But to be safe, we can include About the role (covering why Seyfarth and opportunity). Then Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now craft HTML.

We could also have Skills section but we already covered skills in Requirements. To avoid duplication, maybe separate: Requirements (education/experience) and Skills (technical). But we can keep as Requirements and maybe Skills separate if we want. However we must not create thin sections. Let's see if we can split: Requirements: Bachelor's degree, 5-7 years experience. Skills: rest. That would be two sections.
But we have many bullet points; we can combine.
The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine into one "Qualifications and Skills" section. But they gave examples: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We can choose one.
Let's do "Qualifications" covering education, experience, and skills.
Then Benefits section: talk about competitive salary and benefits, collaborative team, commitment to excellence, plus specific benefits from location specific language: paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, 401(k). Also mention culture.
Pay section: salary range $75,000-$90,000 annually based on 35 hour work week, merit increase, bonus pay.
Schedule section: 35 hour work week.
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. It does.
Now ensure we don't repeat info.
Let's craft Benefits section: combine culture and benefits.

Schedule section:
Schedule
This position is based on a 35‑hour work week.
We should also include location? Not required as heading; could be in a paragraph maybe under About the role or Benefits. But we can include location in a short paragraph maybe under About the role or separate? The instruction says do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short or drop it. Location is minor metadata; we could include in a short p under About the role or maybe a separate "Location" section not in the list of allowed headings? The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not create a Location heading. We can fold location into About the role or Benefits as a short sentence.
We already have Pay mentioning New York. Could add location there.
Let's adjust Pay paragraph to include location: "based in New York, NY 10018".
