I'm not sure that the sort of definitions we do here are going to be text-book accurate to the precision you're probably thinking of if you mean these to be aides-memoire for your studies. But here goes…

TORT
To Off-contract Rong T'other
TAXATION
Tolls Applied, Xacting A Tariff - Income's Officially Nabbed
CRIME
Commit Registered Illegal Malefactory Event
CONTRACT
Compact, Openly Notarised, That Registers Agreement Cataloguing Terms

How about "Twist Out Revenue Tidily," being as I understand "tort" comes from the Latin "torquere," "to twist"?


I've been thinking about law school myself.
