This session provides a practical deep dive into burden of proof and burden of persuasion in administrative hearings. The course explores the "who" and "when" of burden shifting, focusing on identifying the legal standards for shifting the burden to the opposing party and the circumstances under which the burden returns to the original party. Using case studies and regulatory frameworks, this class offers practical guidance on evaluating evidentiary weight, and managing shifting burdens to ensure fairness, accuracy, and procedural due process.
