He has practised at a top three national law firm, and has been consulted by members of the Bar (including Her Majesty's Counsel for the State of Victoria) in relation to various matters in addition to having addressed the Supreme Court of Victoria as counsel. Eu-Jin is a leader in the legal profession as the chair of the Administrative Review and Constitutional Law Committee at the Law Institute of Victoria, and as a member of the Taxation and Revenue Committee, State Taxes Committee and Executive Committee of the Administrative Law and Human Rights Section at the Institute, the peak body for Victorian lawyers which provides input to the Federal and Victorian governments on the initiation, design and implementation of various policies.
A Fellow of the Taxation Institute of Australia, Eu-Jin is Editor of one of Australia's most prestigious refereed tax journals (the Journal of Australian Taxation, which appears to have been cited by courts in Australia more than any other Australian tax journal) and he has sat on the Editorial Board of the Melbourne University Law Review, Australia's most cited law journal and the world's second most cited general law journal published outside the United States of America. Eu-Jin has also been an external editor for the Law Institute Journal (the only refereed journal in the State of Victoria that is dedicated to the provision of information which is of practical import to legal practitioners in the jurisdiction), and he has been commissioned by publisher LexisNexis Butterworths to update the 'Income and Assessable Income' chapter in the Taxation and Revenue title of the encyclopaedia Halsbury's Laws of Australia, one of the two foremost legal encyclopaedias in Australia.
With formal qualifications in university teaching, Eu-Jin has taught in Australia and overseas and at the undergraduate and postgraduate level. He created and coordinates the Australian Constitutional Law course that is offered by the College of Law of England and Wales to overseas lawyers seeking admission in Australia, and is an Honorary Lecturer at Monash University. Students have described him as 'a great teacher' and '[o]ne of the best lecturers in [the] faculty'.
Eu-Jin has published on a range of subjects in international and local refereed journals, and has had papers presented at conferences both domestically and overseas. He has also been successful in obtaining faculty and nationally competitive research funds, and has appeared on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Lateline programme. Eu-Jin's research has been cited by the highest court in Australia, by local and overseas academics, and extra-curially by the late Justice Graham Hill, who was widely regarded as the leading tax judge in Australia before his Honour's passing.
