Also known as ‘level of proof’, it is how much evidence there must be, or how strong the evidence must be, before a judge, a magistrate or a jury can decide about a case. For criminal law, the standard of proof is called beyond reasonable doubt. For civil cases, the standard of proof is called the balance of probability.
