Discretion in law refers to the authority granted to legal professionals, such as judges or law enforcement officers, to make decisions based on their judgment and interpretation of the circumstances of a case. It allows them to exercise flexibility in applying the law, taking into account individual situations rather than strictly adhering to rigid rules. While discretion can lead to more tailored and equitable outcomes, it also raises concerns about consistency, fairness, and potential biases in the legal system.
