Extra-Help Deputy Public Defender I/II/III/IV

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections with real content. Given the posting: It includes description: "Examples of Duties This recruitment is being established to obtain a current eligible list for Extra-Help vacancies. Extra-Help are not entitled to county benefits and are limited to a maximum of 25 hours per week. Extra-Help pay rate is from $38.35 to $67.32 per hour. Please Note: This assignment will include Racial Justice Act research and writing. Duties may include, but are not limited to, the following: ..." Then list of duties (many sentences). Then "Experience Minimum Qualifications Level I: None. Level II: ...". Then "License Active membership in the State Bar of California ...". Then "Essential Functions ..." (list of physical demands). Then "Knowledge of: ..." then "Ability To ..." then "Why Merced County? A message from the CEO" (but no content after? maybe just heading). We should remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none. We need to decide sections: Could have "Responsibilities" for duties list. Could have "Requirements" or "Qualifications" for experience, license, etc. Could have "Pay" for pay rate. Could have "Schedule" for max 25 hours per week and not entitled to benefits? Actually schedule: limited to max 25 hours per week. Benefits: Extra-Help are not entitled to county benefits. So we could have Benefits section stating that they are not entitled to county benefits. But rule: only create Benefits section if posting actually states them. It does state that Extra-Help are not entitled to county benefits. So we can include Benefits. Pay: pay rate given. Schedule: max 25 hours per week. We also have "Why Merced County? A message from the CEO" but no content after; maybe it's just a heading with no detail; we should not create a section if no real content. So omit. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the duties list as

• items. The duties are many sentences separated by semicolons. We need to split into list items. The posting says: "Duties may include, but are not limited to, the following: Acts as defense counsel in criminal cases; Interviews and advises defendants and witnesses. Interprets and applies laws, court decisions, etc. in the preparation of cases and briefs.Prepares pleadings and other legal documents in connection with suits, trials, hearings, conservatorships, and other legal proceedings; Performs legal research and investigations.Examines evidence and prepares and presents the case for the defense in assigned criminal actions.Performs administrative duties for the Public Defender; Dictates correspondence and reports.Assists the Chief Deputy Defender and the Public Defender as needed.Level V- Lead, provide mentorship and direction to other attorneys; May assist in training other professional staff.Level V-Demonstrates necessary proficiency, diligence, and quality of representation appropriate for capital cases." We need to parse each duty separated by semicolons or periods? The list seems to have semicolons separating items, but some items have periods inside. We'll treat each segment before a semicolon as a list item. Also there are some sentences after semicolons that start with capital letters. Let's split: 1. Acts as defense counsel in criminal cases 2. Interviews and advises defendants and witnesses. 3. Interprets and applies laws, court decisions, etc. in the preparation of cases and briefs. 4. Prepares pleadings and other legal documents in connection with suits, trials, hearings, conservatorships, and other legal proceedings 5. Performs legal research and investigations 6. Examines evidence and prepares and presents the case for the defense in assigned criminal actions 7. Performs administrative duties for the Public Defender 8. Dictates correspondence and reports 9. Assists the Chief Deputy Defender and the Public Defender as needed 10. Level V- Lead, provide mentorship and direction to other attorneys 11. May assist in training other professional staff 12. Level V-Demonstrates necessary proficiency, diligence, and quality of representation appropriate for capital cases We could keep as is. Now Experience Minimum Qualifications: list levels. We could put under Requirements or Qualifications. Since we have both Experience and License, maybe combine into Qualifications. We'll create a section

  Qualifications

  with
  • for each level. Levels: - Level I: None. - Level II: One (1) year of experience in the practice of civil or criminal law. - Level III: Two (2) years of experience in the practice of civil or criminal law. - Level IV: Two (2) years of experience as a Deputy Public Defender III in Merced County. OR Four (4) years of experience in the practice of civil or criminal law. - Level V? Not listed explicitly but maybe implied. We'll include those. License: Active membership in the State Bar of California at time of appointment. Possess a valid California driver's license at time of appointment and maintain. We could put under Requirements or Qualifications as separate list items. Essential Functions: list of physical demands. Could be under Requirements or maybe a separate section like "Physical Requirements". But we only have predefined headings; we could put under Requirements as well, but maybe better to put under Requirements (since it's about ability to perform). However we have no heading for "Physical Demands". We could include under Requirements as list items. Knowledge of: list of knowledge areas. Could be under Skills or Qualifications. We'll put under Skills. Ability To: list of abilities. Could be under Skills as well. We need to avoid duplication. Let's structure:

    Responsibilities

    • ...

    Qualifications

    • Experience: Level I: None.
    ... etc
    But we also have License separate; maybe include under Qualifications as well. Better:

    Requirements

    for experience, license, essential functions. And

    Skills

    for knowledge and abilities. But we need to decide. Given the instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine experience, license, essential functions into Requirements. And knowledge/abilities into Skills. Pay and Benefits and Schedule separate. Thus sections: - Responsibilities - Requirements - Skills - Pay - Benefits - Schedule Check each has content. Responsibilities: duties list. Requirements: experience levels, license, essential functions. Skills: knowledge of..., ability to... Pay: pay rate. Benefits: Extra-Help not entitled to county benefits. Schedule: limited to max 25 hours per week. Also note: "Extra-Help are not entitled to county benefits and are limited to a maximum of 25 hours per week." So we can split that into Benefits and Schedule. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Please Note: This assignment will include Racial Justice Act research and writing." That's substantive; could be part of Responsibilities maybe as a note. We'll include as a list item under Responsibilities. Also "Examples of Duties This recruitment is being established to obtain a current eligible list for Extra-Help vacancies." That's more description; could be a paragraph before Responsibilities. We'll put a

    for that introductory sentence. Now produce HTML. We must not include or . Just fragment. Let's craft. First paragraph:

    This recruitment is being established to obtain a current eligible list for Extra-Help vacancies. Extra-Help are not entitled to county benefits and are limited to a maximum of 25 hours per week. Extra-Help pay rate is from $38.35 to $67.32 per hour. Please Note: This assignment will include Racial Justice Act research and writing.

    Then

    Responsibilities

    with duties. We need to ensure we don't repeat the pay rate etc in Responsibilities. Now Responsibilities list items as we split. Let's list them: - Acts as defense counsel in criminal cases - Interviews and advises defendants and witnesses - Interprets and applies laws, court decisions, etc. in the preparation of cases and briefs - Prepares pleadings and other legal documents in connection with suits, trials, hearings, conservatorships, and other legal proceedings - Performs legal research and investigations - Examines evidence and prepares and presents the case for the defense in assigned criminal actions - Performs administrative duties for the Public Defender - Dictates correspondence and reports - Assists the Chief Deputy Defender and the Public Defender as needed - Level V: Lead, provide mentorship and direction to other attorneys - May assist in training other professional staff - Level V: Demonstrates necessary proficiency, diligence, and quality of representation appropriate for capital cases We could keep the "Level V-" prefix. Now Requirements section: include experience levels, license, essential functions. We'll make a
    with items: - Experience: - Level I: None - Level II: One (1) year of experience in the practice of civil or criminal law - Level III: Two (2) years of experience in the practice of civil or criminal law - Level IV: Two (2) years of experience as a Deputy Public Defender III in Merced County OR Four (4) years of experience in the practice of civil or criminal law - License: Active membership in the State Bar of California at time of appointment; Possess a valid California driver's license at time of appointment and maintain - Essential Functions: (list of physical demands). We'll break into list items maybe as sublist? But we can just make each as separate
