What would assess final appeal of criminal computer user (7,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

supreme court

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

'what would assess final appeal' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'criminal computer user' is the wordplay.
'criminal' indicates an anagram.
'computer'+'user'='computeruser'
'computeruser' is an anagram of 'SUPREME COURT'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for supreme court that I've seen before include "High legal authority" , "Ultimate US legal panel" , "Its judgment is final" .)
