How can administrative judicial review limit bureaucratic discretion? Find out in Linda Moberg's & my new article doi.org/10.1111/gove.1… in Governance Journal ! ECPR Law & Courts 🇺🇦🇪🇺

Important work on street-level bureaucracy! Karin Leijon and Linda Moberg show how judicial review is constraining discretion in policy implementation. This role of the courts is all too often overlooked in SLB research (see, e.g. Lipsky 1980).
