Prior to that, he served as a Justice of the High Court from 2002 to 2003 and a Justice of the Court of Appeal from 2003 to 2008.

Apart from being a Supreme Court Justice, Justice Anin Yeboah is also a part-time lecturer in Civil Procedure and the Ghana Legal System at the Ghana School of Law.

He is known in the football fraternity as well when he was appointed as the Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee of the Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) in May 2017.
