Trial Attorney - LGBTQ+ Liaison - CAFL Transition Age Youth Office

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Must preserve all substantive information. We need to parse the posting and extract content for each section. Let's identify sections: - Overview: includes description of CPCS, mission, values, agency overview, office overview, position overview. This could be "About the role" maybe. The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings. We have: About the role: could be position overview and maybe mission/values. Provide description. Responsibilities: list of duties. Requirements: maybe minimum entrance requirements? Or qualifications? The posting has "Qualifications" section with MINIMUM ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS and Qualifications/Skills. We need to separate Requirements vs Qualifications vs Skills? The instruction says use those headings if content exists. We have "Qualifications" heading in posting with subparts: MINIMUM ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS and Qualifications/Skills. We could map MINIMUM ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS to Requirements, and Qualifications/Skills to Qualifications and Skills? But we have separate Skills heading. Could split: Requirements = minimum entrance requirements (eligibility to practice, transportation, internet). Qualifications = preferred experience (three years representing youth, LGBTQ+ experience, etc). Skills = strong interpersonal, analytical, litigation, writing, oral presentation, foreign language desirable, ability to work community defense-oriented. But we need to ensure we don't create sections with placeholder text. All have content. Benefits, Pay, Schedule: posting mentions hybrid work schedules, remote until office space, eligible for hybrid work schedules. No explicit benefits, pay. So we should not create Benefits or Pay sections because no specific content. Schedule: we have info about hybrid work schedules, remote until office space, eligible for hybrid. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule. We must not include Benefits or Pay. Now we need to extract substantive content and format as

for prose,

• for lists. We must not include boilerplate like EEO statement, application instructions ("To apply, please submit..."), etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Let's gather content. About the role: combine overview paragraphs that describe the role, mission, values, agency overview, office overview, position overview. Need to preserve all substantive information but not repeat. We'll need to condense but not summarize away detail. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; cannot invent or summarize away detail. That means we need to keep the details, but we can rephrase? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we cannot omit details. But we can combine into paragraphs; still need to keep all facts. That's a lot. Might be lengthy but okay. We need to include: CPCS is public defender agency for Massachusetts, seeking attorney as Trial Attorney/LGBTQ+ Liaison in TAY office, new initiative of CAFL Division.
