disputable presumption

A quick definition of disputable presumption:

A disputable presumption is when someone assumes something is true based on other facts they know. But, the other person can argue against it with their own evidence. It's like a game where one person says something and the other person tries to prove them wrong. This is used in court to help decide who is right.

A more thorough explanation:

A disputable presumption is a legal inference or assumption that a fact exists, based on the known or proven existence of some other fact or group of facts. It is a presumption that can be challenged or rebutted with other evidence. This shifts the burden of production or persuasion to the opposing party, who can then attempt to overcome the presumption.

For example, in a criminal case, there may be a disputable presumption that a defendant is innocent until proven guilty. However, if the prosecution presents evidence that the defendant committed the crime, the presumption can be challenged and the burden of proof shifts to the defendant to provide evidence of their innocence.

Another example is the disputable presumption that a child under the age of 18 is not capable of making certain legal decisions, such as signing a contract. However, if the child can provide evidence of their competence, the presumption can be challenged and the burden of proof shifts to the opposing party to prove the child's incompetence.

Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
