Idiot reportedly looks at jury in Edinburgh (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assize

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

'jury in edinburgh' is the definition.
'assize' can be an answer for 'jury' (I have seen 'Scottish jury' mean 'assize' so perhaps 'jury' could also mean 'assize'). I'm not certain of the 'in edinburgh' bit.

'idiot reportedly looks' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'idiot' could be 'ass' (I've seen this before) and 'ass' is located in the answer.
'reportedly' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'at' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for assize that I've seen before include "Old-style judicial sitting" , "Periodic court" , "Jury (Scotland)" , "sitting in judgment" , "Former county court" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
