Watch Online: Due Process Special: Newark Rebellion 40th Anniversary
Due Process is NJN’s award-winning weekly series on law and justice issues. Launched in 1996, Due Process is approaching its 11th season with the same cutting edge coverage that has marked its decade-long tenure.
Criminal
law, civil law, consumer law, civil liberties
law. In
nine years on NJN, Due Process has done
them all.
We’ve covered issues like mandatory sentencing, drug laws and capital punishment, but we’ve also taken up-close looks on the civil side – from
school law and adoption to divorce and
discrimination
The bottom line for every Due Process episode is: Have we aired all sides of an issue? Have we achieved both balance and diversity?
In fact, it is just that commitment to good journalism and basic fairness that has won Due Process scores of awards and honors, including eight Emmys and more than 60 Emmy nominations.

It is also the reason that Due Process attracts guests who won’t appear elsewhere. When Michael Chertoff was seated on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, the only television interview he agreed to do – examining his role as U.S. Assistant Attorney General in charge of the War on Terrorism – was with Due Process. After years of refusing to do TV, former Third Circuit Chief Judge John Gibbons, agreed to appear on Due Process. When Attorney General Peter Harvey was under fire and refusing to be interviewed, he appeared on Due Process.
The next Due Process season is already in pre-production with stories ranging from the fight against Human Trafficking and the battle over Church-State Separation, to the Criminal Court Backlog and the impact of impending New Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
