Answer:

In the context of law, "proof" refers to the evidence presented to support a claim or assertion, and the level of certainty that the evidence establishes. The proof is used to convince a judge or jury that a particular fact or proposition is true and to satisfy the burden of proof required to establish a legal claim or defense.
