Abstract: A change in the composition in the Gleeson Court at the end of its first five years in 2003 prompted an empirical analysis of its work in constitutional matters, to discover patterns of behaviour, both institutionally and from the Justices as individuals. It was found that the Court has a solid core led by Gummow J, and comprising, in rough order of influence, Gleeson CJ and Hayne and Gaudron JJ, and that Kirby J shows vehement dissent in constitutional matters, though Callinan J also exhibits dissent.
