Correct errors of staff in English court (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emendate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'correct errors' is the definition.
'emendate' can be an answer for 'correct' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the 'errors' bit.

'staff in english court' is the wordplay.
'staff' becomes 'men' (I've seen this in other clues).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'court' becomes 'date' (romantically pursue).
'e'+'date'='edate'
'men' going into 'edate' is 'EMENDATE'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for emendate that I've seen before include "Fix" , "Correct" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
