Think Venn diagram - the kangaroo court is a subset of the larger circle of mock courts.

Say a law professor held a mock court in a lecture. There was no point to it other than to teach the students about legal procedures. Would you call that court legitimate? No, of course not. Would you call it a kangaroo court? No, of course not.

But you could call a kangaroo court a mock court, it's just a specific type of mock court where guilt is pre-ordained.
This is actually a fair and strong argument.

But it adds nothing to your much weaker argument that a kangaroo court is well defined, but it very clearly isn't.
