Examined in Supreme Court by woman detective (7)
I believe the answer is:
scanned
'examined' is the definition.
(scanning is a kind of examining)
'supreme court by woman detective' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'woman' could be 'anne' (woman's name) and 'anne' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scanned that I've seen before include "Thoroughly examined" , "given thorough examination" , "Glanced over" , "examined closely" .)
