Profanity in group accompanying one — right to be heard (5,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

locus standi

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

'right to be heard' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'profanity in group accompanying one' is the wordplay.
'profanity' becomes 'cuss' (cuss is a kind of profanity).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'group' becomes 'lot'.
'accompanying' becomes 'and' (and can mean with or accompanying).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'cuss' put within 'lot' is 'locusst'.
'locusst'+'and'+'i'='LOCUS STANDI'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for locus standi that I've seen is " right to appear in court".)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
