In her representation of the Bergen County Sheriff, she handled a highly-publicized international custody dispute initiated through a habeas corpus action brought by an inmate of the Bergen County Jail.  Ms. Pasquale handled the matter from the District Court to the Third Circuit and it resulted in a reported decision found at Carrascosa v. McGuire, 520 F.3d 249 (3rd Cir. 2008) and is now a dispositive case regarding the international treaty known as the Hague Convention.  This case was covered by the New Jersey Law Journal throughout the over two (2) years of ongoing litigation..

In 1997, Ms. Pasquale served as a law clerk to The Honorable Margaret Mary McVeigh, P.J.Ch. in Passaic County.  At the time, Judge McVeigh was sitting in the Civil Part of the Law Division where Ms. Pasquale handled research and writing on hundreds of substantive motions as well as on-the-spot trial research..
