On Thursday, June 12, 2025, the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Judicial Department granted the reinstatement of Eun Jung Chin as an attorney and counselor-at-law in the State of New York. The decision marks the conclusion of a suspension that had been in place since March 17, 2020.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Eun Jung Chin,” with case no. 2025-03072.
Chin faced suspension due to non-compliance with Judiciary Law Section 468-a. This law mandates specific registration requirements for attorneys practicing in New York. The 2020 order barred Chin from practicing law in the state, effective immediately, until further court action.
Following the suspension, Chin took steps to address the requirements of Judiciary Law Section 468-a. Court records indicate compliance was achieved on or about April 13, 2022, June 8, 2024, and April 24, 2025. These actions demonstrated Chin’s commitment to meeting the necessary legal standards for reinstatement.
The reinstatement motion was reviewed by a panel of justices presided over by Justice Peter H. Moulton, with Justices Barbara R. Kapnick, Saliann Scarpulla, Julio Rodriguez III, and Llinét M. Rosado. After careful consideration of the submitted documents and due deliberation, the court approved Chin’s request to resume practicing law.
According to the filing, Chin was admitted to practice law in New York in 2006.
