the.com/tribunal

means A formal body set up to judge disputes or claims, especially outside the ordinary court system.

from From Latin 'tribunal,' the raised platform where a Roman magistrate — often a 'tribune,' an official representing the people — sat to hear cases and dispense judgment. The word literally grew out of 'tribunus,' which traces back to 'tribus' (tribe), since tribunes originally spoke for Rome's tribes. So the dais came first, and the modern sense of 'court' grew from the platform the judge physically sat on.
