Ensuring the protection of individual rights, equality among individuals, and right to a fair procedural trial can be considered the basis of the due process model in today’s society. A more specific definition is, “Due process is the principle that the government must respect all of legal rights a person is entitled to under the law.” (Government of Canada, 2012, para. 2). Due process is ultimately meant to search for the truth, whether it be in the favor of the queen or not. It is most commonly found in court cases and ensuring fundamental rights. As well, due process believes in reducing and limiting the amount of power that is given to officials in the justice system.

An example of this is procedural law, when one case is similar to another and has precedence. Therefore, these charges will result in a similar charge unless they are found to be able to be distinguished, in which case results in different charges for the cases. This is often seen in court cases today unless they are ruled to be similar. One of the exceptions is the aboriginal justice system, which is a system that allows individuals to try and restore harmony with the community after someone broke the law within the community. The punishments have a tendency to be less harsh than the justice model used by the Canadian government and the community reinforces the punishment and sentencing instead of the government. “The offender is required to play an active role in the restorative process.” (Urasaki, 2017, chpt. 3). Due process ensures that in the proceedings of a law that was broken that cannot be taken care of by the aboriginal justice is taken care of by our current justice
A due process hearing is a formal, legal procedure conducted by an administrative law judge. It is the state board of education which has established a mediation process as a part of the due process provision required in accordance with Public Law 94- 142. It is a formal way of resolving disputes with a school about your child's education. But the due process complaint can be filed only for special education disputes and not for general education issues (Yell, & Rogers, 1998) A few cases in
agencies must follow due process procedures when pursuing disciplinary action against a licensee or registrant due to the 5th and 14th Amendments of the United States Constitution. The 5th Amendment states “No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. The 14th Amendment states “nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny
an act of omission or commission of the legal provisions. The conflict between the crime control model and the due process model has been debated for quite some time. The due process model holds to the principle that an individual cannot be deprived of the property, life, liberty, and so forth without adhering to the proper legal system as well as safeguards. In addition, due process model suggests that when individuals are charged with criminal activities, the crime justice system ought to protect
writing essays and attempting to find my voice I have discovered and tested many different processes. Throughout this quarter I have been exposed to a new writing process, and in exploring this process I have managed to find my own voice and style of writing. Traditionally, I would spit something out on my paper and beat it until it appeared perfect, this process would typically result in a late assignment and a low grade.

This semester I was able to flourish as a writer due to essays given in class. I am now better able to analyze prompts and to communicate my ideas better on paper. Although my writing has drastically improved, it has not always been that way. As evident through past essays, my writing was poorly structured and contained spelling errors. Also through practice this semester I was better able to write a concrete thesis statement, something I was puzzled with in my previous English courses. Now I am
English 101, I ended up learning much more than expected. This was due to having a great teacher, but also the realization of how little high school actually prepared me for college English. The class itself took me on a journey of learning, not only acquiring new skills, but uncovering an unknown side of me as a writer; which then led to a change in my writing process and a solid achievable set of goals for the future.

views as me. I think I balanced it fine and was still able to express the issue. The writing process was frustrating. This was due to the fact that my interview was not done yet when I started writing my paper, First, I wrote a paper that seemed to be a very long explanation about how high school does not prepare students for college, it was biased and it seemed more like a rant rather than an essay. Then I polished it and formatted it so there would be three main paragraphs. One

As I analyzed the video and poem of Portia’s speech I was challenged to figure out what was Shakespeare’s purpose of the specific work. One thing that this essay taught me was the importance of multiple drafts in the writing process. Prior to this essay, I did not understand how to take advantage of the revision process to clarify and perfect
