Chazakah

In Jewish law, a chazakah (Hebrew חזקה, "presumption") is a legal presumption; it establishes burden of proof. There exist many such presumptions, for example regarding the ownership of property, a person's personal status (e.g. whether they are a kohen or Levite), and presumptions about human behavior.
