Burden of proof is who has to prove the case by meeting or exceeding the standard of proof. In a criminal case, it's the prosecution. In a civil case, it's the plaintiff.
Standard of proof is the unquantifiable amount of proof that must be shown. In criminal cases, it's beyond a reasonable doubt. In civil cases, it's a preponderance of the evidence.
