General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Holmes v. Conway No. 335 Argued May 1, 1916 Decided June 12, 1916 241 U.S. 624
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF KANSAS
Syllabus
The due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment does not control mere forms of procedure in state courts, or regulate practice therein.
All the requirements of the due process provision of the Fourteenth Amendment are complied with provided the person condemned has sufficient notice and is afforded adequate opportunity to defend.
An attorney having obtained certain funds from the clerk of the court, the court in a summary proceeding directed him, after a full hearing, to restore the same; on appeal, this order was affirmed, and, on rehearing, the attorney set up that he had been denied due process of law by not being given adequate notice or a fair opportunity to defend. Held that, as the record doe not sustain his contention in those respects, this Court cannot say that he has been deprived of a federal right.
92 Kan. 787, 93 id. 246, affirmed.
The facts, which involve the validity under the due process provision of the Fourteenth Amendment of a judgment of a state court, are stated in the opinion.
