Тут я вообще с контекстом пожадничал, не хотел уводить вас в сторону. Это название главы "Суд идет в разные стороны", снова могучая игра слов. Пока я рассуждал, чей вариант выбрать, мне один человек прислал собрание судебных ляпов, под общим названием "Disorder in Court!", которое я и сплагиатировал, а закудозить решил самый близкий ответ.
Всех благ ;)

5 mins confidence:
16 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +1 | Суд идет Star Chamber? Kangaroo court?
Explanation:
I'm not sure I understand exactly what the Russian implies. Without your explanation, I would have thought it meant "The Court is in session".
The Court of Star Chamber was established by King Henry VIII in the 16th century to try his enemies without any bother from independent-minded judges or juries. The expression "Star Chamber" is still used today to mean this sort of trial.

Another term that comes to mind is "kangaroo court". This is used in the UK though it originated in the USA (not Australia, as you might think.
nterestingly, the term kangaroo court, meaning a criminal proceeding that is conducted for show and where the defendant is inevitably going to be found guilty, is not of Australian origin. The earliest use of the term was recorded in Texas, of all places, circa 1850. The term Kangaroo court was unknown in Australia until it was introduced there from America. No one knows how this term arose, but it is usually assumed to be in reference to how the defendant will be bounced from the court to the gallows. Lighter suggests that the term may have arisen from the way a kangaroo court defies the law, just as the kangaroo's appearance seems to defy the laws of nature.
