I feel like I learned this in my high school civics class. How could anyone not know the standard of proof in civil cases is preponderance of evidence? That's like Civil Trials 101.

Haha, imagine if civil juries had to be the same size as criminal juries. Can you imagine 12 people trying to agree on a slip and fall case? That would be a circus!

This is a trick question. A, B, and C are all false, so D has to be the correct answer. These civil trial rules are pretty basic stuff.

I'm pretty sure neither side can appeal an adverse judgment in a civil case. Isn't that the whole point of a civil trial, to get a final resolution without endless appeals?

I thought civil jury trials didn't have to be unanimous. Isn't that one of the key differences between civil and criminal cases?

D sounds about right. In civil cases, the standard of proof is usually the preponderance of evidence, not the higher 'beyond reasonable doubt' standard used in criminal trials.
