Procedural due process (PDP) is one of the most invoked and least understood concepts in American law. In this pathbreaking book, Professor Redish views PDP as an outgrowth of "liberal adversary democracy," rooted in mistrust of those who wield power. He uses this lens to illuminate problematic doctrine in civil procedure, administrative law, and constitutional law. Only a scholar of Redish's breadth and depth could write this sweeping and important book. It is a capstone achievement by one of America's preeminent constitutional theorists.
