Well, there is also an intermediate standard calked "clear and convincing" also used for civil cases.
The clear and convincing standard is not as rigid as "beyond a reasonable doubt" and it is not as loose as the preponderance standard (sometimes referred to as more likely than not). The clear and convincing burden of proof standard is somewhere between the two.

Beyond a reasonable doubt is for criminal cases. In civil court it is something called the preponderance of evidence, which basically means you have to have more evidence than they do. If you can provide enough evidence to make it 51%/49% in your favor you win. |
