Defending Due Process
Polity Press (Verlag)
978-1-5095-6387-6 (ISBN)
Why is due process under so much pressure? Brandon Garrett exposes widening fault lines. One division lies within our own attitudes, and he explores why we are tempted to put desired outcomes before fair process. Another lies in government, as judges adopt toothless due process rules. People are trapped in debt for unpaid traffic fines; sheriffs seize and forfeit belongings; algorithms suspend teachers’ employment; officials use flawed data to cancel healthcare; and magistrates order arrestees to be jailed because they cannot pay cash bail. Meanwhile, the rise of AI threatens what remains of due process with black-box technology.
To fight against such unfairness, lawyers try to challenge unjust systems, researchers demonstrate why such processes are so counterproductive, and lawmakers try to enact new protections. Common ground matters now more than ever to mend political polarization, cool simmering distrust of government, prevent injudicious errors, and safeguard constitutional rights. A revival of due process is long overdue.
Brandon L. Garrett is the L. Neil Williams, Jr. Professor of Law at Duke University School of Law. A leading scholar of criminal justice outcomes, evidence, and constitutional rights, he is the author of several books, and has published numerous articles in leading law reviews and scientific journals. His work has been widely cited by courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, lower federal courts, state supreme courts, and courts in other countries. He is the founder and faculty director of the Wilson Center for Science and Justice at Duke.
