Abstract
This Note examines the function and operation of presumptions under Arizona law. Despite considerable scholarly discussion, there remains a conspicuous lack of consensus regarding their effect. The Note considers presumptions as procedural devices and explores the treatment of presumptions in the Arizona courts. Notwithstanding attempts to clarify the issue by the Arizona Supreme Court, the effect of presumptions remains a source of confusion. The author argues that, by considering the rationale underlying presumptions, we can better understand their use and construct a useful and meaningful framework for their application.
