ABSTRACT
In philosophical discourse, at least two major forms of justice are identified: procedural and substantive. The first, Procedural law, refers to fair and unbiased processes for judging people. In bringing Saddam Hussein to trial in 2005, for example, it was one of the tasks of defense attorneys to ensure their client’s right to be assumed innocent
until proved guilty, be guaranteed a “fair” trial, and be eligible for bail (or if denied bail, given an explanation for its refusal, and on what definitive grounds). It also embraces the modus operandi for establishing one’s rights and to starting a lawsuit and proceeding with it.
