What's the difference between the burden of proof and the claim?
Q. I'm doing a law case for a project in Speech... it asks what the claims are, the evidence, & the burdens? What are the differences between a claim and the burden? It just seems like all of these three are closely related. Claim is what you're claiming, obviously. Evidence is proof that your claim is correct, and a burden is...I become lost.. And does there always need to be a prima facie case present?

A. The "burden of proof" is the responsibility to substantiate a claim, and is usually borne by the party making the claim. For example, a prosecutor bringing charges against a defendant has a burden to prove the defendant's guilt. Any evidence brought into a case must have its credibility evaluated; such is also a burden of proof. In a civil trial, unlike a criminal one, the defendant typically has the burden of proof; however, the plaintiff (the one claiming to be the victim of wrongdoing) still must substantiate that there has been a genuine wrong committed at the hand of the defendant.

A. You must complete the rollover by the 60th day following the day on which you receive the distribution. An exception to this rule is if the annuity was from a qualified retirement plan (other than an IRA) after your separation from service in or after the year you reached age 55 .

I am so good looking that it is becoming burden in my day....How do I cope with being better everyone else?
Q. The benifits of having a superior facial structure and unparalleled beauty and brains have made being such an incredible person no longer a fun adventure. It seems that my perfection as human being is more of a burden. For example: I am constantly turning down the women that throw themselves at my feet. Do you know what it is like to have to step over human despartity? Not cool bro. Not cool.
