“…There has also been increased study of the Court in legal and political journals by political scientists (e.g., Tucker 1994). Between 2002 and 2011, the Australian Journal of Political Science provided an annual 'political review' of the High Court (Gauja 2009;Gauja and Gelber 2011;Gelber 2004;2005;Gelber and Kildea 2007;Patapan 2002;.

The judiciary has not been the subject of sustained scrutiny within the political science discipline. The High Court plays a central role in the Australian political system, however, and the exercise of judicial power has far reaching consequences for the legislative and executive branches of government. This article presents a historiography of the study of the High Court by political scientists, using Helen Irving's 'The Constitution and the judiciary' as a foil. In order to foster cross-disciplinary study and research within the political science discipline, this article concludes by setting out a new research agenda for the future study of the High Court and the law by political scientists. This research agenda provides new insights into (among other topics) how judges exercise power and the changing relationship between the judiciary and the legislative and executive branches.
