      A practical handbook for everyone who is required to make decisions that affect other people’s lives, by two of the UK’s most experienced practitioners in judicial and quasi-judicial decision-making.

      Decision-making sits at the heart of justice, fairness and organisational integrity. Across courts, tribunals, regulatory bodies, workplaces and institutions of every kind, individuals are required to weigh evidence, resolve disputed facts and reach fair, reasoned conclusions. Yet despite the importance of that responsibility, many decision-makers receive little formal training in how to approach the task. This book is designed to close that gap.
