Made an effort to be heard (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tried

This clue is a double definition.

'made an effort' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'be heard' is the second definition.
(heard or tried in a court)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tried that I've seen before include "Made an effort" , "Essayed" , "Proven by experience" , "Made an attempt" , "heard in court" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
