Rate My Professor Geoff Hall

His research specializations encompass criminal law, criminology, sentencing, sentencing information systems, transport law, and public law. Hall is renowned for his authoritative contributions to sentencing law through key publications, including Hall's Sentencing (Vols. 1-3, 2011 and 2012 editions), Becroft and Hall's Transport Law (Vols. 1-2, Land transport and related legislation; Bill of rights sentencing, 2011 and 2012), Sentencing Law and Practice (3rd edition), and the Penalty Guide for Judicial Committees (2011), commissioned by the Board of Judicial Control Authority. These works serve as essential references for practitioners and judiciary in New Zealand. In 2008, he delivered his Inaugural Professorial Lecture titled 'Bloody Idiots! Have the drunks behind the wheel finally met their match?', addressing transport law and sentencing issues related to drink-driving. Hall's advisory roles and publications have had a substantial impact on sentencing practices and legal reform in New Zealand.
