Could you please explain what the burden of proof entails in the context of Latin legal terminology? I'm curious to understand how it differs, if at all, from the modern legal concept of burden of proof. Is there a specific phrase or term in Latin that encapsulates this concept, and if so, how is it interpreted and applied in ancient or medieval legal systems?

The concept of burden of proof, derived from the Latin phrase "onus probandi incumbit ei qui dicit, non ei qui negat," signifies the responsibility resting upon a particular party in a dispute.

Conversely, the party that denies the claim is not obligated to disprove it; the onus lies solely on the one who makes the assertion.
