As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, due process remains one of the Constitution’s most fundamental protections, ensuring that government power is exercised fairly and within established rules. Yet debates over due process have intensified in recent years, touching issues ranging from pretrial detention and indigent defense to prison conditions and executive authority.
The Council on Criminal Justice’s Centering Justice initiative and a distinguished panel of experts discussed the state of due process in America today, exploring where constitutional safeguards are holding, where concerns have emerged, and how this foundational principle can be strengthened for generations to come.
