It is of concern to lawyers because it can be a force for advancing the broad purposes of law and subverting them. For social scientists this phenomenon is an important form of decision-making behavior, one in which legal rules are merely one force in a field of pressures and constraints that drive certain courses of action or inaction. This book presents a variety of analyses of legal discretion by lawyers and social scientists who have made discretion and its uses a central part of their scholarly concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47614862786711,"sku":"9780198259503","price":5979.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780198259503.webp?v=1775097084","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-uses-of-discretion-9780198259503","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
