	Case for the damnation of Marsden - Opinion - smh.com.au
		Marsden denied this, but anyone familiar with Justice David Levine's seven-volume judgement would see that Marsden's credibility was the greatest casualty in Australia's longest defamation trial, even though Marsden won the case.

		Marsden became president of the Law Society of NSW, he was appointed to the Legal Aid Review Committee, the Justice Act Review Committee, the NSW Police Board and the Anti-Discrimination Board of NSW.
