statement of a claim
Explanation:
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".

Cheers

legal writing; pleadind


Explanation:
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.

pleading, not pleading. A good possibility: law review article or law journal article

disagree  Kim Metzger: 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.
