A pleading is defined as "Written statements of the parties in a civil case of their positions. In the (US federal courts), the principal pleadings are the complaint and the answer. The claim, answer, counterclaim, and/or third-party claim filed in an action.

In plain English, a 'pleading' is the entire sum total of the body of the case. Instead of calling it "the case" it is referred to as the "pleading."
