Substantive rights are basic human rights possessed by people in an ordered society and include rights
granted by natural law as well as the substantive law. Substantive rights involve a right to the substance
of being human, rather than a right to a procedure to enforce that right, which is defined by procedural
law. Substantive rights is a term which includes those rights which one enjoys under the legal system
prior to the disturbance of normal relations. The right to Freedom
Speech, for example, is a substantial right.

Procedural law establishes the legal rules by which substantive law is created, applied and enforced,
particularly in a court of law.

Which is a procedural right? The body of law that prescribes formal steps to be taken in enforcing legal
rights. Legal rights themselves are created and defined by Substantive Law. Different rules generally
govern Civil Procedure and Criminal Procedure, or the procedure followed in trials and in appeals.

Substantive law establishes the rights and obligations that govern people and organizations; it

includes all laws of general and specific applicability. Procedural law establishes the legal
rules by which substantive law is created, applied and enforced, particularly in a court of law
“As a General Rule, laws which fix duties, establish rights and responsibilities among & for
persons natural or otherwise are “Substantive laws”, while those which merely prescribe the
manner in which such rights & responsibilities may be exercised & enforced in a Court are
'Procedural Laws'.

Judicial review is a court proceeding involving the review of the lawfulness of a decision or action made
by a public body. It is a challenge to the way in which a decision or action was made rather than the
rights and wrongs of the conclusion reached. It is really concerned with the matter of the right
procedures having been followed. The
judicial power of the Supreme Court emanates
from Section 1, Article VIII of the Constitution. It states that, “judicial power
includes the duty of the courts of justice to settle actual controversies
involving rights which are legally demandable, and enforceable and to
determine whether or not there has been a grave abuse of discretion
amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction on the part of any branch or
instrumentality of the government.” The essence of judicial review is derived
from this constitutionally mandated judicial power.

Juridical act as used in civil law refers to a lawful act or expression of will
intended to have legal consequences.
For example in Louisiana, the concurrence of both spouses is required for the
alienation, encumbrance, or lease of community immovables, standing, cut, or
fallen timber, furniture or furnishings while located in the family home, all or
substantially all of the assets of a community enterprise, and movables issued or
registered as provided by law in the names of the spouses jointly. Concurrance
of the spouse is a Juridical act.[La. C.C. Art. 2347]

Likewise a man who marries the mother of a child not filiated to another man and
who, with the concurrence of the mother, acknowledges the child by authentic act
or by signing the birth certificate is presumed to be the father of that child. The
concurrence of the mother required by this Article is a juridical act.[La. C.C. Art.
195]

Certiorari, also called cert, in common-law jurisdictions,

a writ issued by a superior court for the reexamination of an action of a
lower court. Certiorari also is issued by an appellate court to obtain
information on a case pending before it.

Petition for certiorari is petition that asks an appellate court to grant a writ of certiorari.  This type of
petition usually argues that a lower court has incorrectly decided an important question of law, and that
the mistake should be fixed to prevent confusion in similar cases.
