Evelyn graduated as a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) with Archaeology in 2011. She subsequently went on to achieve her law doctorate (LL.D) in 2014, with a thesis entitled “The Significance and Scope of Separate Opinions at the European Court of Human Rights with particular reference to the Influence of Judge Giovanni Bonello”. She  was called to the Bar of Malta in February 2015. 

Eve specialises in human rights and constitutional law, in which fields she has represented several clients before the European Court of Human Rights. In recent years, she has successfully argued cases before the domestic constitutional courts regarding freedom of expression and the right to life, leading to landmark judgments. She also practises civil law, with a specific focus on property law.

Eve has acted as rapporteur to the Human Rights Programme of the University of Malta and submitted a consultation report to the Government of Malta, on behalf of the Programme, aimed at creating a robust human rights and equality framework in Malta. Thereafter, she delivered her first public speech on this report at the University of Malta’s Public Law Conference entitled: “The Constitution: Fifty Years of Proposals and Counter-Proposals” held on Human Rights Day in 2014. The report was subsequently published in the University of Malta’s first issue of the “Mediterranean Human Rights Review” published in 2017. 

In 2014, Eve received an award from the Strickland Foundation for her human rights literary contribution entitled: “There Exists a Breach of His Human Rights, Not Yours: How Malta lags behind in the Protection and Observance of Human Rights” and expanded her knowledge in the field through her participation in the course “The European System of Human Rights Protection” at the University of Viadrina, Germany.

She has, in the past, also been appointed by the University of Malta to supervise final year students’ theses. 

In her practice, Eve has represented a number of journalists and activists in cases targeted towards limiting, inhibiting or preventing freedom of expression, frequently referred to as “SLAPPs”. 

In 2022, Eve was appointed an independent expert on the MSI-SLP Committee of Experts on Strategic Lawsuits against Public Participation of the Council of Europe, a committee tasked with drafting a Recommendation to target SLAPPs in Europe. She serves as Gender Equality Rapporteur on the committee.

Eve is also a member of the Chamber of Advocates, The Public Interest Litigation Network (of which she is presently a sitting committee member) as well as a member of the civil society network Repubblika.
