burden of proof -> charge de la preuve

The burden of proof (Latin: onus probandi) is the obligation to shift the assumed conclusion away from an oppositional opinion to one's own position. The burden of proof may only be fulfilled by evidence.
The burden of proof is often associated with the Latin maxim semper necessitas probandi incumbit ei qui agit, the best translation of which seems to be: "the necessity of proof always lies with the person who lays charges." This is a statement of a version of the presumption of innocence which underpins the assessment of evidence in some legal systems, and is not a general statement of when one takes on the burden of proof. The burden of proof tends to lie with anyone who is arguing against received wisdom, but does not always, as sometimes the consequences of accepting a statement or the ease of gathering evidence in its defense might alter the burden of proof its proponents shoulder. The burden may also be assigned institutionally.

La charge de la preuve (Latin: onus probandi) est l'obligation de faire passer un argument étayé (une preuve) visant à établir une conclusion d'un point de vue opposé à sa propre position. La charge de la preuve peut seulement être établie par des éléments de preuve.
En vertu de la maxime latine necessitas probandi incumbit ei qui agit, la règle générale est que « la nécessité de la preuve incombe à celui qui se plaint ». La charge de la preuve est normalement du ressort de la partie qui dépose une nouvelle plainte. L'exception à cette règle est le prima facie ou la preuve « de prime abord » : une preuve considérée comme suffisante pour établir une conclusion jusqu'à sa réfutation.
