PreponderanceOfEvidence
The "preponderance of evidence" is a standard of proof commonly used in civil cases. It requires that a party's evidence be more convincing than the opposing party's. Essentially, it means that there is a greater than 50% chance that the claim is true. This standard is less stringent than "beyond a reasonable doubt," which is used in criminal cases. In practical terms, if the evidence tips the scales in favor of one side, that side is likely to prevail.
