  "id": "MLC-T-LAW-002887",
  "term": "Kangaroo court",
  "field": "Law",
  "definition": "An unofficial or sham proceeding that ignores recognized standards of law and justice, rendering a verdict that was determined in advance. It creates an appearance of a fair legal process but denies fundamental rights, such as the right to an impartial judge, the right to present evidence, or the right to counsel. The term is a pejorative used to describe any hearing, whether formal or informal, that is considered a mockery of justice and lacks legitimacy.",
