Procedural Due Process Elements

Summary

Procedural due process under the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution includes notice to the defendant, an opportunity to be heard, and an impartial adjudicator. A writ of certiorari is issued by the U.S. Supreme Court upon granting discretionary jurisdiction to hear an appeal from a federal appellate court. The Ohio Court of Claims handles damages claims against the State of Ohio. A motion to dismiss under Civil Rule 12(B)(6) argues that the plaintiff has failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. Congress can regulate interstate commerce under the Commerce Clause. Directors and officers owe fiduciary duties to a corporation, and the board of directors is responsible for the management and overall direction of the company. The business judgment rule protects directors if they act reasonably, in good faith, and in the best interest of the corporation. A shareholder derivative action can be brought to remedy wrongs committed by the board.
