The Petro Cohen team is excited to share that Rebeca Jomarron, our former summer law clerk, was recently featured in the Cape May County Bar Association Newsletter! Read the full newsletter below:
Rebeca Jomarron – Clerk for the Honorable Michael J. Blee & the Honorable M. Susan Sheppard
Rebeca is originally from Cuba, but a proud resident of Atlantic County since she was seven years old. In 2019, she culminated her academic journey at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) by earning a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy. Following her graduation, she embarked on her professional path at South Jersey Legal Services, where she acquired significant experience as a paralegal under the guidance of Elizabeth Cunningham, Esq.
In 2021, Rebeca advanced her legal education at Barry University School of Law in Orlando, Florida, successfully graduating with her Juris Doctor degree in May 2024. During her tenure at law school, she was an influential Executive Board member of the Hispanic-American Law Student Association (HALSA). She further enriched her legal acumen by spending her summers in New Jersey working at Petro Cohen under the mentorship of Richard Gaeckle, Esq. and Susan Petro, Esq.
Since earning her law degree, Rebeca has been serving as a clerk for the Honorable Michael J. Blee, A.J.S.C., where she handles a range of matters in the Law Division docket. Simultaneously, she clerks for the Honorable M. Susan Sheppard, P.J.Ch., contributing to Chancery Division cases. Driven by a longstanding commitment to justice and advocacy, Rebeca chose to pursue a career in law. Outside of her professional responsibilities, she dedicates her free time to volunteer work as a CCD teacher for Confirmation students, mentors Atlantic City High School students as part of the Hispanic Bar Association of New Jersey’s American Dream Pipeline Program, and actively participates in the Hispanic Association of Atlantic County (HAAC), focusing on community outreach and mentorship in higher education.
Reflecting on her experiences as a law clerk, Rebeca notes, “As my clerkship nears its end with only five months remaining, I look back with nostalgia on the immense growth I have undergone, the knowledge I have acquired, and the meaningful relationships I have cultivated with my colleagues and the Judges. I am deeply grateful for this journey and eagerly anticipate what lies ahead!”
