Due process generally refers to fairness in government proceedings. A person is entitled to notice and opportunity to be heard at a hearing when they have life, liberty. or property at stake.
Laws should be applied to persons equally, without discrimination on prohibited grounds, such as gender, nationality, handicap, or age.
In criminal cases, fair procedures help to ensure that an accused person will not be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment, which occurs when an innocent person is wrongly convicted.
Due process requirements apply to such government proceedings as trials, parole hearings, and administrative hearings involving benefits, among others.
