Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a civil case, the requisite standard is a preponderance of the evidence. A preponderance of the evidence means that it is more likely than not that the facts are true (i.e., the evidence is at least slightly in favor of one side). Clear and convincing evidence is a higher standard than preponderance of the evidence, but not as high as beyond a reasonable doubt (which is the standard in criminal cases).
