statement of a claim
I think this term is only used in Swiss legislation and denotes the statement of a civil claim, including the cause of action (Klagegrund) and the bill of particulars (Klageantrag) as well as the evidence. The German equivalent would be "Klageschrift".

: In Swiss law, a Klageschrift is statement of claim, but Rechtsschrift is simply a legal document or pleading as Fred said. I'm doing a Swiss Klageschrift right now and both terms are used with separate meanings.

: It would have to be "statute law", not "statue", but I doubt that this is what the asker is looking for. More context, please!

legal writing; pleadind
This is not a commonly used word so it is actually imperative that one have a context.
Without a context I am taking a shot in the dark, but my answer may be helpful in any case.
