What is the standard of proof for most civil cases?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard of proof for most civil cases is preponderance of evidence, which means that the evidence presented is more likely true than not true. This is a lower standard than beyond a reasonable doubt (used in criminal cases) and higher than clear and convincing evidence. Nolo contendere is not a standard of proof, but rather a plea in which the defendant does not admit guilt but accepts punishment.
