She is a fellow of King's College and was previously joint head of Hailsham Chambers.
In January 2006 Eleanor took up the post of Advocate General at the European Court of Justice. She remains a Fellow of King's, and retains her links with the Law Faculty and CELS, where she is a member of the Advisory Board.
