This paper will compare and contrast a legal concept known as procedural due process with a psychological concept known as procedural justice. It deals with managerial procedures in a legal forum for those who commit crimes or are accused of committing a crime, and for employees who feel they have been wronged in their work environment. I will give detailed examples of the procedural due process and procedural justice and how it affects the environmental and social considerations of management planning.
Procedural Due Process and Procedural Justice Procedural justice in legal settings falls under three categories: neutrality, persuasive conflict, and settlement. Elements of procedural due process that fall under neutrality are: 1) No one should be a judge in his own case, 2) The judge should not have a private interest in the outcome, and 3) The judge should not be biased for or against either party.
