Te Administrative Procesure Act (APA) and Formal Due Process

Two Dimensions of Due Process

Substantive Due Process

Substantive due process asks whether a law or goverment action itself is fundatally fair and just, remedless of the procedures used t to implement it. It protects certain goverental rights - such as privacy, marriage, and parental autonomy - from goverment interference absent a copelling state interess. In administrative law, prestive due process appesenges are rare but potent. For example, an agency regulation that refractivoactively strip s a recordept or conventees a liberty intert might tt tt bigut dowis vitale ts.

Procedural Due Process

Procesural due process, thee more common concern in administrative law, focuses on on the fairness of thee process used when the goverment seeks to deprive an individual of life, liberty, or approvy. It consides, at a minimum, signate and an optunity to be heard. But what constitutes constitute dittie? What kind of hearing is condition d? Te answers are rarely one- size-fits- all.
