Law Clerk - Summer 2026 - Fall 2026

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually description includes many parts. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's parse content: - Description: Hennepin County Attorney’s Office (HCAO) is one of the Upper Midwest’s premier public law firms... (intro). This could be "About the role" or maybe "About the department". We have sections: About The Department, About Hennepin County. Also "About These Position Types". So we need to map. We need to decide headings: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use those exact headings if content matches. We have: - About the role: Could be the introductory paragraph describing the office and law clerk program. - Responsibilities: list of duties: research and legal writing, work closely with prosecutors, attend meetings, complete research and writing assignments, appear in court as Certified Law Student Practitioners, etc. Also "In These Positions, You Will Represent the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office. Conduct legal research and prepare written assignments. Participate in court hearings as a Certified Law Student Practitioner, under the supervision of a licensed Attorney. Attend comprehensive trainings, coordinated by the Law Clerk Program." - Requirements: "Need To Have One of the following: Current enrollment in an accredited law school. A graduate of an accredited law school." - Qualifications: maybe "Nice To Have" items: Applicants must be currently enrolled in a J.D. program and have completed at least two full-time equivalent semesters by the program start date. Familiarity with vision, mission, strategic goals. Familiarity with divisions and work. Genuine interest in public sector law career. Dedication to serving diverse communities. Knowledge of legal research and writing principles, methods and practices, including sources of legal information, court procedures, and laws regulating local government agencies. - Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; could combine with qualifications? Might not have separate skills section. Could omit if no specific. - Benefits: The posting mentions: "Pay starts at $24.35/hour". Also "Current Hennepin County employees who refer a candidate hired into an open competitive position may be eligible for a $500 referral bonus." That's a benefit? Might be considered benefit. Also "These positions are part-time, non-benefit earning, limited duration (temporary) positions." So benefits: none? Actually they say non-benefit earning. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It says non-benefit earning, so we should not create Benefits section. Pay: we have pay starts at $24.35/hour. So include Pay section. - Schedule: location and hours: hybrid, location details, hours per week for academic year fall/spring 15-19 hours, summer 32-40 hours. Also note about hybrid schedule. So include Schedule section. Also we have "About These Position Types": part-time, non-benefit earning, limited duration (temporary). Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like "About the role". We'll incorporate. We also have "About The Department" and "About Hennepin County". Could be under "About the role" or maybe separate sections but we only allowed headings list. Could put under "About the role". Or we could create additional sections not in list? The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should prefer those headings. It says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we can use those headings; we shouldn't invent other headings like "About the Department". So we should fold that content into existing sections, maybe About the role. Thus we will produce sections:

About the role

with intro paragraph(s) describing HCAO, law clerk program, divisions, etc.

Responsibilities

with

• list.

  Requirements

  with
  • list (need to have).

    Qualifications

    with
    • list (nice to have).

      Pay

      with

      Pay starts at $24.35/hour.

      Schedule

      with

      describing hybrid, location, hours per week for academic year fall/spring, summer, note about residency, NEO, etc. We should not include Benefits (non-benefit earning). Not include Skills (no explicit). Not include other. We must preserve all substantive information: need to include details like location addresses, referral bonus, etc. Referral bonus is a benefit? It's a referral bonus for current employees, not a benefit for the position. Might be considered not a benefit for the applicant. Could be omitted? It's substantive but not fitting any heading. Could we put it under About the role? Probably yes as a note. Also need to include "New Employee Orientation (NEO) for all new benefit-earning employees is in-person in downtown Minneapolis." Since these are non-benefit earning, maybe not applicable but still mention. Also "Law Clerks are encouraged to work in-person as much as possible during the summer law clerk program. A hybrid schedule is more practical during the academic year." Also "Note: Dates are approximate." etc. Also "These positions are internally classified as Law Clerk. Click here to view the job classification specification." That's a link; we should preserve? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Should we keep the link? It's a "Click here". Might be considered boilerplate? It's a reference to job classification spec. Might be considered substantive. We'll include as a link in About the role maybe. Also "Externship opportunities may be available for law clerks enrolled in an externship course through their law school. Students should inquire with their school about any relevant policies and requirements for externship placements." Also "Note: You must attach a cover letter, resume, writing sample, Law School Transcript (unofficial) and list three references with your application materials to be considered for this position." That's application instruction; we need to remove application instructions per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we must remove that line. Also "In These Positions, You Will Represent the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office." etc is responsibilities. Also "Need To Have One of the following:" etc. Also "Nice To Have" etc. Also "About The Department" and "About Hennepin County" paragraphs. Also "This posting will be used to fill current and future non-benefit earning, part-time, limited duration law clerk positions during the academic year and summer." That's about the role. Also "Watch this video for application best practices and tips." That's application instruction? Might be considered boilerplate; remove. Also "These positions may have access to systems or other documentation that contains HIPAA data." That's a substantive note about data handling; could be under Responsibilities or Requirements? Probably under Responsibilities (access to HIPAA data). We'll include. Also "Invitations to interview will be based upon an assessment of education and experience." That's about process; maybe under About the role? Could be included. Also "Final candidates may be required to complete a background check. Applicants with convictions are not automatically disqualified. Each case is considered on its individual circumstances and the type of work." That's also process; could be under About the role or maybe Requirements? It's not a requirement but a condition. Could be under About the role. Also "If You Have Questions, Please Contact Hennepin County Attorney’s Office Law Clerk Program Lawclerkprogram@hennepin.us" That's contact info; maybe we keep under About the role? It's not application instruction? It's contact for questions. Might be considered substantive. We'll keep. Now craft HTML. We need to ensure no markdown fences, just raw HTML. Let's draft:

      About the role
