Getting bail, turn round in court (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tribunal

'court' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'getting bail turn round' is the wordplay.
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'round' indicates an anagram.
'bail' put after 'turn' is 'turnbail'.
'turnbail' with letters rearranged gives 'TRIBUNAL'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tribunal that I've seen before include "Adjudication body" , "Special court" , "Board of officers appointed to investigate and report on matters of public interest" , "A panel of judges" , "examination" .)
