Grammar
In the court
Can anyone tell me if this sentence is correct? "In the court, the man was found guilty of ...". The precise question is: can I use the preposition IN in this very context. I am sure I've seen it somewhere (in some English book), but a colleague of mine, who is a native speaker, claims that the only correct version is at the court. What I think, is that at the court is more frequently used, but 'in the court' is grammatically acceptable as well. Am I right? Thank you very much for your help

Yes, or perhaps more commonly ' in court '. ' Order in the court, order in the court! ' is what the bailiff traditionally calls out.
