<p begin="00:00:06.00" end="00:00:14.90">In every trial, there are two burdens: the first is the “burden of going forward”; the second is the “burden of proof.”</p>
<p begin="00:00:15.00" end="00:00:20.80">The burden of going forward means which side must go first in the presentation of their evidence.</p>
<p begin="00:00:20.90" end="00:00:24.10">In a civil case, that burden rests with the plaintiff.</p>
<p begin="00:00:24.20" end="00:00:29.40">In a criminal case, the burden is on the government to present its evidence first.</p>
<p begin="00:00:29.50" end="00:00:37.80">The second burden is the burden of proof—that means what degree of proof a party must meet in order to win the case.</p>
<p begin="00:00:37.90" end="00:00:42.30">In a civil case, the burden is less than in a criminal case:</p>
<p begin="00:00:42.40" end="00:00:49.80">the burden in a civil case is by a preponderance of the evidence, slightly more than 50% by weight.</p>
<p begin="00:00:49.90" end="00:00:56.20">In a criminal case, the burden is much higher; it’s proof beyond a reasonable doubt—that is,</p>
<p begin="00:00:56.30" end="00:01:02.80">proof that is highly, highly convincing—not beyond all doubt, but beyond a reasonable doubt.</p>
<p begin="00:01:02.90" end="00:01:09.00">This legal minute is brought to you by the Ohio State Bar Foundation.</p>
