Toobin began freelancing for The New Republic while a law student. After passing the bar exam, he worked as a law clerk to U.S. circuit judge J. Edward Lumbard of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Next he served as an associate counsel for Independent Counsel Lawrence Walsh during the Iran–Contra affair and Oliver North's criminal trial. He moved to serve as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York in Brooklyn.{{cite magazine|last=Eastland|first=Terry |url=http://www.commentarymagazine.com/viewarticle.cfm/opening-arguments--by-jeffrey-toobin-7838 |title=Above the Constitution? |magazine=Commentary |date=May 1991 |volume=91 |number=5 |pages=60–62|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130119161725/http://www.commentarymagazine.com/viewarticle.cfm/opening-arguments--by-jeffrey-toobin-7838 |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 19, 2013 |access-date=August 7, 2010}}

Toobin wrote a book, Opening Arguments: A Young Lawyer's First Case: United States v. Oliver North (1991),{{Cite book|last=Toobin|first=Jeffrey|title=Opening Arguments|date=1991|isbn=978-0-525-43445-0|location=New York|oclc=1011683236|url=https://archive.org/details/openingarguments00toob |url-access=registration}} about his work in the Office of Independent Counsel, to which Walsh objected. Toobin had been required to sign multiple agreements to protect the confidentiality of grand jury and internal proceedings of the office. But he had taken thousands of pages of notes with him and based his book on such information, revealing material that Walsh believed should have been held as private. Toobin went to court to affirm his right to publish. Judge John F. Keenan of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York wrote an opinion that Toobin and his publisher had the right to release this book. The book was published before Walsh's appeal could be decided, mooting the case. Accordingly, the Circuit Court vacated the lower court's decision and ordered the dismissal of the case.{{cite court | litigants=Penguin Books USA, Inc.; Jeffrey R. Toobin v. Lawrence E.

After three years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, Toobin resigned from the U.S. Attorney's office in Brooklyn, and abandoned "the practice of law."{{Citation needed|date=April 2019}} He started working as a writer in 1993 at The New Yorker and in 1996 became a television legal analyst for ABC.

Toobin has provided broadcast legal analysis on several high-profile cases. In 1994, Toobin broke the story in The New Yorker that the legal defense team in O. J. Simpson's criminal trial planned to accuse Mark Fuhrman of the LAPD of planting evidence. Toobin provided analysis of Michael Jackson's 2005 child molestation trial,{{Cite web|url=http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/01/16/otsc.toobin/|title=Toobin: Jackson courtroom 'like nothing I've ever seen' |date=January 16, 2004 |publisher=CNN|access-date=September 19, 2016}} the O. J. Simpson civil case, and independent prosecutor Kenneth Starr's investigation of President Bill Clinton.

He published books on some of these cases: The Run of His Life: The People v OJ Simpson (1997), and A Vast Conspiracy (1999), about the investigation of Clinton for the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal. Each of these books was later adapted for television, the Simpson case as a mini-series, and the Clinton as an episode.

In 2000 Toobin received an Emmy Award for his coverage of the Elián González custody saga, which had resulted in the return of the boy from the United States to communist-led Cuba.

Toobin joined CNN in 2002 as a legal analyst. In 2003, he secured the first interview with Martha Stewart about the insider trading charges against her.{{cite magazine|title=Contributors: Jeffrey Toobin|url=http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/bios/jeffrey_toobin/search?contributorName=jeffrey%20toobin|magazine=The New Yorker|access-date=August 6, 2010}}

Toobin was widely ridiculed in the wake of the incident by, among others, O. J. Simpson, Jimmy Fallon, Bill Maher, Donald Trump Jr., and performers on Saturday Night Live.Saturday Night Live. "Madame Vivelda." YouTube, October 24, 2020, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7hoynDj4WI. Defenders included Tina Brown, a former New Yorker editor, who said that "27 years of superb reporting and commitment to The New Yorker should have been weighed against an incident that horribly embarrassed the magazine but mostly embarrassed himself." Author and journalist Malcolm Gladwell said he "read the Condé Nast news release, and I was puzzled because I couldn't find any intellectual justification for what they were doing."

On June 10, 2021, Toobin returned to CNN as its chief legal analyst. He described his conduct as "deeply moronic and indefensible" and said he "didn't think other people could see [him]", but admitted that this was no defense for his behavior. He said the time he spent off air went toward "trying to be a better person", working on his upcoming book about the Oklahoma City bombing, going to therapy, and working at a food bank.{{cite news |last=Stelter |first=Brian |url=https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/10/media/jeffrey-toobin-returns-cnn/index.html |title=Jeffrey Toobin is back at CNN eight months after exposing himself on Zoom |work=CNN Business |date=June 10, 2021 |access-date=June 10, 2021 }}
