Right idiots in court, most devoid of sense (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crassest

'most devoid of sense' is the definition.
(crass can mean senseless)

'right idiots in court' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'idiots' becomes 'asses' (I've seen this before).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
'r'+'asses'='rasses'
'rasses' inserted inside 'ct' is 'CRASSEST'.

(Another definition for crassest that I've seen is " Most idiotic".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
