예비 논거
I think the meaning of 'fall-back' could be 'that can be resorted to as a fallback' or 'an alternative which can be used if something goes wrong with the main plan'.
A claimant or a lawyer could prepare several arguments for trial, one of which would be a fall-back argument.
A claimant or a lawyer could prepare several arguments for trial, one of which would be a fall-back argument.
Example sentence:
Yesterday's vote itself was a retreat from an earlier fallback position.
a fallback plan

대비 주장
I'm not sure this is an official term or anything, but it's a good translation for "fall-back argument". It basically means "an assertion one has ready to make, if needed".

This is a little late, but I just came across the following page that describes related legal terminology - http://cafe.daum.net/_c21_/bbs_search_read?grpid=1DjC6&fldid... It looks like "예비적 주장" would be the right term.
