One could argue there's precedent, depending on what kind of setting this is.
In ye olden tradition Satan meant The Accuser, and served a role rather a equivalent to a court prosecutor, bringing charges against the defendant.

I’ll quote Job 1:6-12 (NIV) here, for the sake of academicalism in comic excess (which I find funny):

One day the angels came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them. The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”

Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”

Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.”

“Does Job fear God for nothing?” Satan replied. “Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.”

The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.”

Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.

So the Devil participating in a divine court is kind of his thing, really.

Honestly a lot of early christianity is not all that different from the surrounding polytheism of the time.
