Extract

In the study of the constitution, courts and judicial behaviour, two distinct strands can be identified. First, the study of constitutional law, which in the 1920s was a paramount concern of the emergent political science discipline, had become by the 1960s a very marginal interest of Canadian political scientists. Although recent events have led to a revival of interest, still only a small handful of political scientists in the English or French-speaking branches of the discipline devote much of their scholarly attention to the law of the constitution. The study of judicial interpretation of the constitution has been almost completely preempted by legal academics. In the meantime, the empirical investigation of courts and judicial behaviour, a subject which in earlier years attracted the attention of neither lawyers nor political scientists, has been slowly emerging as a distinct field of interest for social scientists and empirically oriented legal scholars, although it remains very much at the margin of political science.
