Ms. Jerejian has had a hand in high profile and noteworthy cases over the past
twenty years in practice.
A decade ago she successfully represented the mother of two young children born through artificial insemination to a lesbian couple in a case that received
national publicity and raised issues that at the time had never before been in New Jersey as to: What legal right does the non-biological "mother" have to continue a relationship with children or gain joint custody or visitation rights?
In 2004 she argued before the
Supreme Court of New Jersey who subsequently overturned the death penalty conviction of a death row inmate late in his appeal process.
