What things, characteristics, or events influence these decisions?
Do you work on individual cases? If so…
What metrics are you required to use when making decisions on your cases?
Where are you able to depart from these?
Where are the gray areas?
Are there extra-legal characteristics that affect your decisions in your job?
Is there a specific case that you remember in your career, where discretion played a large role, or was particularly difficult? Why?
