<br/><br/> This note introduces the irrebuttable presumption analysis as a new viable constitutional framework for judicial review to the "iron curtain rule." Using the framework, it is suggested that the rule should be viewed as a conclusive presumption of enmity that bars succession between an illegitimate child and her parents' legitimate relatives, but should give way to contrary evidence to vouchsafe a litigant's right to a meaningful participation in the judicial process.
