procedural due process:
(1934)

1. The minimal requirements of notice and a hearing guaranteed by the Due Process Clauses of the 5th and 14th Amendments, especially if the deprivation of a significant life, liberty, or property interest may occur.  *  The Supreme Court has ruled that the fundamental guarantees of due process apply to children as well as to adults and that they apply in situations in which a juvenile may be deprived of liberty even though the juvenile proceedings may be labeled civil rather than criminal.  In re Gault, 387 U.S. 1, 87 S. Ct. 1428 (1967). In that case, the Court held that an accused child was entitled to notice of the charges, the privilege against self-incrimination, the right to confront witnesses, and the right to summon witnesses on his or her own behalf. Justice Abe Fortas wrote the majority opinion in Gault, and Chief Justice Earl Warren predicted that it would come to be called the “Magna Carta for juveniles.” [1]

1. A regular course of justice, which is not unreasonable or arbitrary, upon notice and hearing, in pursuance of an efficacious remedy secured by the law and the state.  16 Am J2d Const L § 549.

[2]

1. In any action in which a person is entitled to due process, she is entitled to receive both procedural due process and substantive due process, both of which are grounded int eh Fifth Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment.  The term procedural due process implies a proceeding in which a person has a full opportunity to protect her rights.
