  • A Kangaroo Court is a sham legal proceeding or court; one that denies due process and fairness in the name of expediency. The outcome of such a trial is essentially decided in advance, (usually for the purpose of providing a conviction), either by going through the motions of manipulated procedure or by allowing no defense at all and overuling all objections. In either case, a Hanging Judge usually presides over the trial in question. See also The Scapegoat and Miscarriage of Justice. Examples of Kangaroo Court include:

This one is unfortunately Truth in Television, especially in countries ruled by dictators, who are fond of putting dissidents through "show trials" as a prelude to execution. The name either started in; * Texas, during the Gold Rush of 1849, and refers to justice "in leaps," like a Kangaroo. * Europe, during the colonial era, and refers to courts deporting people en masse to Australia simply to clear backlogs. Compare Joker Jury (which a Kangaroo Court may well have), Jury of the Damned, Trial of the Mystical Jury, and Decoy Trial. If it's the litigants who are making a mockery of the court system rather than those running the proceedings, it's a Courtroom Antic. See also The Scapegoat and Miscarriage of Justice.
