This could be a double definition.

'scam' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'employed in court' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for racket that I've seen before include "loud din" , "produced at Wimbledon" , "Cowboy contest" , "Loud unpleasant noise" , "Unpleasant noise, bat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Times.
