Looks like

tribune / tribunal

tribunal = a court; tribune = a public speaker's platform or Roman official

⚠️ The trap

The Italian 'tribunale' matches English 'tribunal' well, but don't confuse with 'tribuna' (a podium or stand at a sports venue). These are different words and objects.

To say "tribunal = a court; tribune = a public speaker's platform or Roman official" in Italian:

tribunale (for court of law); tribuna (for a speaking platform/stand)

"tribunale" in English means:

court of law, tribunal

Example

"Il caso verrà discusso in tribunale."

"The case will be discussed in court."
