You may be thinking of the two strands of due process, procedural due process and substantive due process.  Procedural due process requires that the procedures used in your case be fair -- in criminal cases, e.g., you have a right to know the charges, confront witnesses, often have a jury trial, etc.   Substantive due process invokes the idea that there are some fundamental rights which cannot be taken away by law: one in the news these days is the right to privacy (and whether it extends to abortion, contraception, a right to die, gay marriage, etc.)\n\nEither strand can implicate the notion of a right to equality.  Under procedural due process you have the right to the same procedures as others similarly situated, and under substantive due process your rights can not be restricted based on unjustified distinctions between you and another class of people.

Here is a report by Human Rights Watch on due process violations in Georgia. Should provide you with lots of sources:\nhttp://www.hrw.org/reports/pdfs/g/georgia/georgia2948.pdf#search='due%20process%20georgia'

The Governor was elected through due process in accordance with the laws of the state.    \n\nThe citizen was convicted through the legal system.\n\nThe Governor did not make the decision to convict the citizen, a jury did.  There were many unsuccessful appeals that followed the original decision.  The Governor is basically the 'last' appeal in a very lengthy process.\n\nThe Governor did not feel he could intervene, for the reasons he stated in his decision.  The Governor is ultimately accountable to the people for his decisions.\n\nFor all of the faults of the system, it is at least open to scrutiny and challenge.  Not many in the world laugh at that.

Scheduling conference -- a meeting involving attorneys from both sides and the Judge.  They sit and discuss what still needs to be accomplished before the matter can be brought to court for disposition, i.e. depositions that need to be taken, expert reports, rulings on outstanding motions.  The list can go on and on.  \n\nOrder of the Court -- a mandate handed down by a Judge compelling someone to comply to a specified instruction as "ordered by the court."

Obstruction of justice, in a common law state, refers to the crime of offering interference of any sort to the work of police, investigators, regulatory agencies, prosecutors, or other (usually government) officials. Often, no actual investigation or substantiated suspicion of a specific incident need exist to support a charge of obstruction of justice.\n\nGenerally, obstruction charges are laid when it is discovered that a person questioned in an investigation, who is not a suspect, has lied to the investigating officers. However, in most common law jurisdictions, the right to remain silent allows any person who is questioned by police merely to refuse to answer questions posed by an investigator without giving any reason for doing so. (In such a case, the investigators may subpoena the witness to give testimony under oath in court) It is not relevant if the person lied to protect a suspect (such as setting up a false alibi, even if the suspect is in fact innocent) or to hide from an investigation of their own activities (such as to hide their involvement in another crime). Obstruction charges can also be laid if a person alters or destroys physical evidence, even if they were under no compulsion at any time to produce such evidence.

You need to clarify your question.  Civil law has several meanings.  It can mean the opposite of criminal law, or it can mean the opposite of English common law.  In neither of those settings, however, are there four widely known "assumptions", so your question lacks meaning in this form.  Provide more information or, if the question comes from a textbook, consult it for whatever assumptions it claims exist.  Try your question again with more detail and context, and I'll bet someone will get you an answer.

that means there has been a decision made against you.  whatever the judgment may be, it is a decision made by the judge (and sometimes jury) that you are at fault.  usually it results in an awarding of money for the other party - to be paid by you.  a motion for consideration is what you file when you want the judge to consider a point.  they are filed on any number of issues and without more info, i wouldn't be able to tell you what the judge was being asked to review.

They cover two different areas of constitutional law.\n\nProcedural due process (PDP) guarantees that sufficiently reasonable and consistent procedures (methods) will be used when infringing on a right or imposing a penalty. The basic requirements of PDP are notice and opportunity to be heard, with the specific requirements as to when and how depending upon the nature of the penalty/infringement and the redressability after the fact.\n\nSubstantive due process ensures the procedures will not be used in a manner which infringes on upon fundamental rights, namely those rights which are "rooted in tradition and history, and implicit in an ordered liberty". Fundamental rights include those explicitly granted, such as 1st Amendment rights, and those addition rights recognized by the Courts.\n\nSome examples of rights recognized by the court include the right to vote, the right to travel, the right to bodily integrity (choice in medical procedures), reproductive rights (including the right to use contraception), and most parental rights to raise a child.\n\nWhen dealing with substantive rights, simple procedural safeguards are not sufficient (though they must be followed as well). The court also strictly limits how fundamental rights can be infringed, requiring a compelling government interest and only through the least restrictive means narrowly tailored to achieve that goal. \n\nSo, substantive due process is more concerned which WHAT rights are being infringed, since it is limited to protection of fundamental rights, than how certain rights are being infringed. In contrast, procedural due process applies to ANY rights or benefits gained from the government, no matter how minor, though the lesser rights do warrant lesser protection.

The whole idea is to make sure that due process is served.  The laws and appeals processe are set so that people (for the most part) are not wrongly imprisoned.

I'm not sure about California laws, but in the constitution, it states that everyone has the right to a speedy due process. I don't think the judge can sit on it for a long period of time.

Depends on which protection you mean.  Many of the protections are specific to criminal trials (Grand Jury requirement, double jeopardy), but the protection against being deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law applies in all cases.
