What is the name of your state? Maine.
i am defending myself in a small claims case, i would like some helpfull advice on what to expect during the proceedings. also, i have done research elsewhere and have found that their is a criteria to prove three of four aspects of evidence to find someone guilty in order to convict, but i've only found this list for other states. does the maine legal system follow the same or similar criteria? and if so, could you tell me what it is?

Assuming you are correct in posting this in the SMALL CLAIMS area of the forum, this is a CIVIL matter and therefore, no CONVICTION will arise.
Simply take whatever evidence you have to defend yourself against the claim(s) made and present it to the court. The court will then evaluate all the evidence and testimony from both sides and make a decision.
