Meeting that has no standing? (7)

I believe the answer is:

session

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

'meeting' is the definition.
(I know that session is a type of meeting)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for session that I've seen before include "Fifty minutes lying on a couch" , "Bout" , "Official sitting" , "Meeting of an official body" , "Time of court's sitting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
