DEF – The conduct of legal
proceedings according to
established principles and
rules which safeguard the
position of the individual
charged. Source

CONT – The concept of due
process is rooted in English
common law and expressed
in Magna Carta, Art. 39
(1215), whereby the King
promised that 'No freeman
shall be taken or imprisoned
or disseised or exiled or in
any way destroyed ... except
by the legal judgment of his
peers or by the law of the
land'. This was later
interpreted to require trial by
jury. Source

CONT – "Due process" is an
imprecise and elastic term,
the meaning of which varies
with time and place.
Basically, it suggests
fundamental fairness and tries
to apply that concept to all
parts of the criminal process.
The breadth of the concept
depends upon the subjective
view of the American courts,
particularly the United States
Supreme Court. In the last
twenty years "due process"
has included protections
against self-incrimination,
coerced confessions, illegal
searches, denial of counsel or
jury trial and unregulated
eavesdropping. In the
American system a judicial
finding that law enforcement
officials have offended due
process will result in a
complete exclusion of the
impugned evidence and will
usually result in the acquittal
of the accused. Source

OBS – Notion corollaire à
celle de la primauté du droit,
q.v., à savoir que les
gouvernements sont tenus de
respecter les droits
fondamentaux des citoyens et
les principes de justice
naturelle dans l'application du
droit, à défaut de quoi une
décision administrative pourra
se voir annulée par un tribunal
à la demande du citoyen
concerné. Les principes de
justice naturelle en question
sont : (1) le droit du citoyen
d'être entendu et, (2)
l'obligation pour le tribunal ou
l'autorité compétente d'être
impartiale, ce qui implique
notamment la prohibition de
toute forme de discrimination
et l'égalité de traitement de
tous. Source

Variant: la régularité de la procédure
and you then you have a violation of due process, e.g. le défenseur a plaidé l\'irrégularité de la procédure.
