An Empirical Study of Agenda Setting in the High Court of Australia

该项目旨在对通过高等法院的议程制定程序-特别假-促进和限制行使司法权力的体制和个人因素进行首次全面研究。该项目使用定量方法，期望产生关于高等法院作为司法权力守门人的作用的新的先进知识。预期成果包括通过政策报告、学术文章和数据集，了解澳大利亚司法权的性质和范围。这应该提供重大的好处，如对法官，诉讼人，律师和政府对高等法院授予或拒绝特别上诉许可的决定的影响和影响的重要见解。

This project aims to undertake the first comprehensive study of institutional and individual factors that facilitate and constrain access to judicial power via the High Court’s agenda setting process, special leave. Using quantitative methods, the project expects to generate new and advanced knowledge about the High Court’s role as the gatekeeper of judicial power. Expected outcomes include foundational knowledge on the nature and scope of access to judicial power in Australia via policy reports, scholarly articles and datasets. This should provide significant benefits such as important insights on the impact and influence of justices, litigants, lawyers, and governments on High Court’s decisions to grant or deny special leave to appeal.
