Burden of Proof

“The burden of proof is the legal obligation requiring a party to present evidence sufficient to establish the truth of their claims before a court or tribunal.”

In federal litigation challenging government actions, the burden of proof determines which party must demonstrate the validity of their position. The standard varies depending on the type of case and claims involved.
