Justice Marcia Ann Neave AO was appointed to the Supreme Court of Victoria, Court of Appeals division, on 22 February 2006.

Before her appointment, Neave was the foundation Chair of the Victorian Law Reform Commission and Professor of Law at Monash University. She is one of the only academics to be appointed to the Supreme Court in Victoria's history, with the vast majority of judges practising as barristers prior to being invited to the bench.

In 1999, Neave was made an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) for her services to the law.

Neave has held a number of distinguished academic positions, including chairs at four different Australian universities, and membership of the Hauser Global Law Faculty of the New York University School of Law. She is a fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia, and a life member of the Australian Institute of Judicial Administration, of which she has been a member for more than 10 years.
