Books are full of these court judgments (9)
I believe the answer is:
sentences
I believe this is a double definition.
'books are full of these' is the first definition.
(a book contains a lot of sentences)
'court judgments' is the second definition.
(sentences from a judge)
(Other definitions for sentences that I've seen before include "Word sets of senescent origin" , "Groups of words as punishments for crimes" , "Words with grammatical structures" , "Declares punishment for" , "Sets of words, or punishments awarded by courts" .)
