What you’ll do
- Draft and review estate planning instruments — wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and health care directives — under attorney supervision.
- Support live probate and estate administration matters, from petitions and inventories to accountings and court filings.
- Research novel questions in guardianship, conservatorship, and fiduciary litigation, and turn that research into clear, usable memos.
- Sit in on client meetings and see how counsel translates the law into calm, practical guidance for families.
Who we’re looking for
- Current law students (1L–3L) or recent graduates with a genuine interest in estate planning, probate, elder law, or fiduciary work.
- Strong writers who can make complex ideas plain — writing is the core of what we do.
- Careful, organized, and discreet; our clients trust us with the most personal details of their lives.
- Bonus: prior exposure to trusts & estates coursework, a clinic, or a fiduciary or probate internship.
Why dCZ

- A firm that’s building. dCZ is a growing, tech-forward boutique — you’ll see how a modern practice actually runs.
- A mission that matters. We help families protect what they’ve built and provide for the people they love. Clerks are part of that work.
