legal definitions of forensic terms

When providing evidence in court, does anyone have a standard set of definitions (external source/organisation) from which to rely on regarding the description of technical terms? Or is it very much your own definitions?My reason for asking is, is there significant differences in the way that DF experts define technical terms and evidence. For instance, I presume experts all explain the process of say file deletion or what unallocated clusters is differently?Obviously different jurisdictions have their own methods, but most will have set definitions which are accepted and reused. But would I be right in saying that this is missing in our field? If so, would this not be a serious concern that factually, the same concept may be being explained in various different ways, some more accurate than others?
