The claim that Black’s Law Dictionary defines "bank" as "a court" requires nuance. While some historical or specialized contexts use "bank" to refer to a judicial bench (e.g., *The Law Dictionary* describes it as "the bench or tribunal occupied by the judges"), this is not the primary or modern definition. The more widely recognized definition, per *Wex* (Cornell Law School), is a financial institution. The confusion may arise from archaic usage or conflation with terms like "court," but mainstream legal sources do not support the assertion that "bank" equates to "court" in Black’s Law Dictionary. For example, a 2011 court case defines "bank" in the context of financial regulation, not judicial proceedings.

Was the original claim referencing a specific historical edition or a niche legal context? Are there other sources that support this definition, or might this be a misinterpretation of related terms?
