Morphology
There is a clear compositional link: 'bring' (to cause something to come) + 'in' (into, towards a bounded domain) suggests introducing or bringing something into view, so a learner could plausibly infer 'announce' or 'present'. However, the specific institutionalized legal sense 'to deliver a verdict' is a specialized, conventionalized usage of the phrasal verb that may not be fully predictable to a B1 learner without exposure, and phrasal verbs often show cross-linguistic variation.
Etymology
Bring in comes from the image of an antenna or microphone pulling signals or sounds into a building: the device brings in radio stations or live feeds. So it means 'to receive' or 'to allow' information or sound to come into a place.
