Due process of law involves two types of processes: (a) procedural due process – Is the process fair? and (b) substantive due process - Does the government have the right to bring the action in the first place?
Governmental actors violate due process when they frustrate the fairness of proceedings, such as when a prosecutor fails to disclose evidence to a criminal defendant that suggests they may be innocent of the crime, or when a judge is biased against a criminal defendant or a party in a civil action.
