There may be other sources, but Black's is the old stand-by for all legal terms, Latin and English. It is most authoritative and complete and has the best definitions.

Yes. If you can't find it in Black's, then the term is probably being used to obfuscate, and the judge or whoever the third party is, is no more likely than you to know what it means.

I have both a hard cover (Deluxe) version and a paperback version. I do not know if the the paperback version is missing anything, but do know that I really haven't run into anything I can't find in the hard cover version.

Try Black's Law Dictionary from West Publishing. The Ohio State Bookstore should have it on hand.
