Law/Patents - Law (general) | | Hebrew term or phrase: מידת השכנוע | Here is another one. What is the legalese way of saying
מידת השכנוע?
Here is the entire sentence:
אין להעמיד דרישות מחמירות מדי, לענין מידת השכנוע,
משום שאלה עלולות להטיל על הצדדי ם ועל בית המשפט עומס
יתר בבירור הנושא המקדמי, דבר העלול לגרום להתמשכות המשפט, לכפילות בהתדיינות ולרפיו ידי של תובעי ם ייצוגיים פוטנציאליים |

This does not carry quite the same weight as "preponderance of evidence" but is perfectly good legalese and more accurately reflects the Hebrew, IMHO. |

11 mins confidence:   degree of proof or preponderance of evidence
Explanation:
While literally שכנוע means convincing, here I think we need to use the more common expression in English Legalese, proof or evidence, as you can see in the example and link below.
Example sentence(s):- A degree of proof required in some of civil cases, higher than the usual standard of preponderance of evidence.
