Civil filings in general [0] have <i>no</i> required proof: they are simply the places where the contentions which will be at issue later in the process (where they generally will need to be proven) are laid out. This is just the basics of the legal process and what a filing is by definition; they precede and frame the part of the process in which proof is involved.<p>[0] Criminal filings are somewhat more complex, and differ between cases proceeding on indictment vs. those on information.
