Civil Due Process
State constitutions generally protect both procedural and substantive due process rights. Many state constitutions also include rights to access the courts. State courts review a broad range of civil due process questions, including claims of inadequate procedures in civil and administrative proceedings, questions about standing and the right to a jury in civil matters, fundamental rights claims rooted in substantive due process, and claims about unfair procedures or inadequate access to justice.
