==In Modern Contexts== In modern contexts, the term "Star Chamber" is often used metaphorically to refer to any secretive or arbitrary process of decision-making, particularly within government or corporate structures. It implies a lack of transparency, fairness, and accountability. For example, critics might accuse a government of conducting a "Star Chamber proceeding" if it bypasses normal legal procedures or engages in secretive actions that undermine civil liberties. Similarly, within organizations, the term might be used to describe a closed-door disciplinary process that lacks transparency or due process. Overall, it signifies a system characterized by unchecked authority and the absence of procedural safeguards.
