Kangaroo court
A kangaroo court or kangaroo trial, sometimes likened to a
drumhead court-martial or Drumhead trial, is a sham
legal proceeding or
court. Kangaroo courts are judicial proceedings that deny
due process in the name of expediency. The outcome of such a trial is essentially made 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.
