An unpublished essay titled “Discretion” by H.L.A. Hart was published in 2013. The essay includes some thoughts on the concept of discretion and the place of this concept in law. Hart puts forward that law has an inevitable indeterminacy for a variety of reasons. In this respect, discretion is a necessary and useful device to create law in Hart’s legal theory especially in the cases where existing rules cannot solve the problem because of these uncertainties. In the meantime, discretion should include reasoned justification and be exercised in a rational and responsible way. The meaning, the qualification, and the role of the concept in legal systems, different versions of discretion, and the requirements of the concept in applying it to a legal system appropriately might be counted as the main themes of the essay. In this article, the main arguments of Hart on these themes will be examined through this newfound text. Besides that, some significant criticisms and assessments directed to this approach will be addressed. By this way, the importance of the essay which has been found almost fifty-seven years later is going to be evaluated in terms of Hart’s literature.
