statutory presumption

Read a random definition: de pace et plagis

A quick definition of statutory presumption:

A statutory presumption is when the law assumes that something is true based on other facts that are known or proven. This means that in a court case, one side has to prove that the presumption is not true. There are different types of presumptions, such as ones that can be overcome with more evidence and ones that cannot be overcome. Sometimes, a presumption is just a guess based on common sense.

A more thorough explanation:

A statutory 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 rule of evidence that calls for a certain result in a given case unless the adversely affected party overcomes it with other evidence. A presumption shifts the burden of production or persuasion to the opposing party, who can then attempt to overcome the presumption.

For example, in some states, there is a statutory presumption that a driver with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 or higher is legally intoxicated. This means that if a driver is found to have a BAC of 0.08 or higher, it is presumed that they were driving while intoxicated, and the burden shifts to the driver to prove otherwise.

Another example is the statutory presumption of paternity. In some states, if a man is married to a woman when she gives birth, he is presumed to be the father of the child. This presumption can be overcome with evidence that he is not the biological father.

Overall, a statutory presumption is a legal tool used to make assumptions about certain facts based on other established facts. It can be overcome with evidence to the contrary, but it places the burden of proof on the opposing party.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
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
