Linda Haller was appointed to the Faculty as a Senior Lecturer in 2006. She has published and spoken widely in Australia and overseas in relation to the professional discipline and regulation of lawyers. In 2006 she completed her PhD ' Discipline of the Queensland Legal Profession' and in 2007 was awarded the University of Queensland's Dean's Commendation for outstanding research. One examiner said of the PhD 'This thesis represents a truly remarkable accomplishment and I can think of no similarly thorough, painstakingly researched approach to the question of lawyers' professional discipline anywhere in the English- language world.'
