Can your work history overlap with the Positions of Responsibility?

I want to talk about my role as an adviser at a Law Clinic under the question: "What extracurricular activities and positions of responsibility have you undertaken and why?".

However, I also want to include it in my work history (as without it I have limited legal work experience).

Is it okay to have it in both sections (I'll be careful to not repeat myself and get across the range of skills I have developed)? Given the work history section is only 100 words, I feel I can use the positions of responsibility question to really expand on what I have learnt.

what are people's thoughts?
