Intro to Law and Legal Process
Preponderance of evidence is a standard of proof used in civil cases, which requires that a party's argument be more likely true than not. This means that the evidence presented must demonstrate that the claims made are greater than a 50% likelihood of being true. It is a lower standard compared to 'beyond a reasonable doubt', and it plays a significant role in determining liability and damages in legal proceedings.
