/ˈliːɡəl ˈbɜːdn/ – Phrase
Definition: trách nhiệm pháp lý.
A more thorough explanation: The legal burden refers to the obligation placed on a party in a legal proceeding to provide sufficient evidence to prove a particular fact or issue. This burden may vary depending on the type of case and the legal standard of proof required. In criminal cases, for example, the prosecution typically bears the legal burden of proving the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. In civil cases, the burden of proof may be lower, such as a preponderance of the evidence standard. Failure to meet the legal burden can result in an unfavorable outcome for the party with the burden.
Example: In a criminal trial, the legal burden is on the prosecution to prove the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
