Appearing in court appointment for latest news (6)
I believe the answer is:
update
'latest news' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'appearing in court appointment' is the wordplay.
'appearing in court' becomes 'up' (I've seen this in other clues).
'appointment' becomes 'date' ('date' can be a synonym of 'appointment').
'up'+'date'='UPDATE'
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for update that I've seen before include "Something fresh" , "account of the latest developments" , "Bring to present status, say accounts" , "Modernise, modify" , "Latest news" .)
