We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "Why Seyfarth", "The Opportunity", "The Day-To-Day", "You Have", "What We Provide", "More About Seyfarth", "NOTE TO AGENCIES", salary range, benefits, location list. We need to use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to map content to these headings appropriately. We have: - About the role: could be "Why Seyfarth" and "The Opportunity" maybe combined. Provide description. - Responsibilities: The Day-To-Day describes duties. - Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: "You Have" list includes experience, familiarity, writing, etc. Also "Excellent academic credentials and solid work ethic", "Success measured by caseload management...", "An active bar license...". Those are qualifications/requirements. - Benefits: "What We Provide" includes competitive salary and benefits, mentoring programs, CLE, Seyfarth University, industry credentialing, hands-on learning. Also later: "We offer a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, and 401(k)." Also salary range. - Pay: Salary range $130,000 to $140,000, plus merit increase and bonus pay. - Schedule: Not mentioned. So we should not include Schedule section. - Location: Not a standard heading; we could maybe put under About the role or a separate section? The instructions only list those headings; we should not create other headings unless they match those. So location info could be folded into a short

under About the role or maybe under Benefits? Probably under About the role as a note. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: NOTE TO AGENCIES, etc. Also remove "Learn more about The Seyfarth Experience at www.seyfarth.com/careers." That's maybe okay to keep? It's not boilerplate? It's a link; but it's not required. Might be considered navigation? It's a link to careers page; could be considered boilerplate? Probably safe to keep as part of More About Seyfarth. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details: responsibilities list, requirements list, benefits list, salary, bonus, locations. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll structure:

About the role

Why Seyfarth ... The Opportunity ... More About Seyfarth ... Location list.

But we need to keep separate paragraphs maybe. Better: About the role paragraph includes why Seyfarth, opportunity, more about Seyfarth, locations. Responsibilities:

  • ... each duty
Requirements: maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications and Skills into one section? The instructions allow multiple headings but we should prefer few substantive sections. Could combine into

Qualifications

with list. But we have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could choose one heading that best fits: Qualifications. Or we could split if content distinct. Let's see: "You Have" list includes experience, familiarity, writing experience, ability to handle high-volume practice, excellent academic credentials, solid work ethic, success measured by caseload management, active bar license. Those are qualifications/requirements. Skills could be writing experience, etc. But to avoid many thin sections, we can use

Qualifications

and list all. Benefits:
