My response:

These words, believe it or not, are "terms of art" and have different meanings in different parts of the country, because in the legal context, they can be "discretionary" or "mandatory". Ask your attorney if you can use his / her "Blacks's Law Dictionary" for specific, legal definitions. Along with that, ask if there are any cases from your neck of the woods that interpret these words.

Do not rely upon a standard dictionary.
