4. How does a cost-benefit analysis used in the determination of due process?
Using, for example, Miranda v Arizona, a cost-benefit analysis is used to determine due-process in the sense of the decision's impact on law enforcement and the community needs to be taken into consideration before a ruling of using Miranda, 5th Amendment Rights, and basic procedures. The Rehnquist Court's decision in the idea of cost-benefit, despite Justice White's suggestion of inconsistency, holds that if the benefits are considerably less and the costs are considerably higher, different legal approaches are necessary. In New York v Quarels, however, the Court concluded that because of the nature of the emergency, the benefit to public safety of dispensing with Miranda rights outweighed any consequences, but did remark that the Defendant could still argue that a confession was involuntary under traditional Due Process Standards. The totality of the issue, for instance in Dickerson v U.S. shows that the characteristics of the particular interrogation need to fit the test of totality of circumstances.

5. What is meant by the "right to notice" with respect to administrative hearings?
"Right to Notice" is a legal statute designed to ensure that the party being accused of something has adequate time to prepare a defense, be notified of procedure, or otherwise warned that a hearing or court date is set. Unless this right is waived in the workplace, any administrative hearing or high level disciplinary procedure, the employee has the right to counsel, and adequate time to prepare.
