In United States law, adopted from English law, due process (more fully due process of law) is the principle that the government must normally respect all of a person's legal rights instead of just some or most of those legal rights when the government deprives a person of life, liberty, or property. Due process has also been interpreted as placing limitations on laws and legal proceedings in order to guarantee fundamental fairness, justice, and liberty. The latter interpretation is analogous to the concepts of natural justice and procedural justice used in various other jurisdictions.

Due process is the ability to contest a decision that was made against you. For example, some places can just fire you. If you have the right to due process, you would beable to contest why you were fired in front of someone. This someone could be the school board if you were a teachers, or it could also be in the court system.

Due process is when everyone has the opportunity to protect their rights in court or another judicial system.

Under American Juris Prudence, DUE PROCESS is EVERYONE getting equal justice under the law. That is, everyone HAS to know his or her accuser, and also everyone is always aloowed to consult an attorney before being questioned by a cop. UNLESS YOUR A TERRORIST which is FINE WITH ME!
