👉 Plaintiff math, often referred to as plaintiff's burden of proof, is a fundamental concept in legal proceedings where the party making the claim (the plaintiff) must provide sufficient evidence to convince the court that their case is valid and deserving of a favorable outcome. This involves meeting specific standards of proof, such as clear and convincing evidence for many civil cases or beyond a reasonable doubt in criminal cases. The plaintiff must demonstrate their claim through credible evidence, often including witness testimonies, documents, and expert opinions, to establish facts that support their assertion. The burden lies with the plaintiff to prove their case to a level that justifies the court's decision in their favor, ensuring fairness and preventing unjust dismissals of valid claims.
