Low-Beer, a lawyer, Canadian federal politician, and poet, examines judgment as exercise, identifying the critical elements of the exercise of judgment and relating them to cognitive functions.
He argues against relegating judgement to the realm of the subjective, and looks at the extent to which it can be learned and its reciprocal relationship to character. He concludes that the
exercise of judgment is a defining characteristic of professionalism in the courts, the professions, politics, and commerce. For scholars and lay readers. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
