ACSOL President Catherine Carpenter, who is also an endowed law professor at Southwestern School of Law in Los Angeles, has identified and analyzed a method that can be used to win registrants’ cases in court.  That method, know as the irrebuttable presumption doctrine, shifts the burden of proof to governments when they make allegations such as that all registrants pose a current danger to society and are very likely to re-offend.

The irrebuttable presumption doctrine was used in a recent court victory for registrants in the state of Pennsylvania.  The court decided among other things that registration and notification provisions were punitive.
