in court/legal situations
I think this is probably saying that personality disorders are particularly likely to be found in people who are involved in court or legal cases (forensic settings) of one sort or another. In other words, if the incidence of personality disorders is less than 1% for the population as a whole, it is more than this for people who come before the courts.

: Important to distinguish that this is about criminal rather than civil legal situations.

Psycho-legal testing environment.
Forensic tests are used or applied in the investigation and establishment of facts or evidence in a court of law. The environment under which these tests are carried out is called called forensic settings, affects the person badly. Because the conclusions are final and non adjustable. These tests also are used by lawyers in court during arguments and these arguments are ruthless.Hence the person undergoing these tests is liable to fall victim to psychiatric illnesses or these can get worse.

It may be relevant to add a sentence here, soon after the first sentence. " Forensic tests can be clinical or psychological/psychiatric and determine a person's psychic status, or the psychic reasons underlying an act." Also insert " and" before "affects..." (line 4). Probably this may iron out thing.
