I believe the answer is:

decision

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

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

'is in code oddly enough' is the wordplay.
'oddly enough' indicates an anagram.
'is'+'in'+'code'='isincode'
'isincode' is an anagram of 'DECISION'.

'of the court' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for decision that I've seen before include "Act of making up one's mind" , "A reasoned judgement about something, no dithering" , "Outcome of discussion" , "Verdict, outcome" , "Judgment, verdict" .)
