Margaret right to back Low in seat of judgment (9)

I believe the answer is:

courtroom

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

'seat of judgment' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'margaret right to back low' is the wordplay.
'margaret' becomes 'court' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'to back' is a reversal indicator.
'low' becomes 'moo' (both can mean to make a cow noise).
'moo' in reverse letter order is 'oom'.
'court'+'r'+'oom'='COURTROOM'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for courtroom that I've seen before include "trial venue" , "trying situation" .)
