Is the Rorschach still a viable test that you can bring into the courtroom?

Absolutely. The Rorschach is not an X-ray of the mind or of the soul as is often the popular opinion, but it can project a picture of the psychology of the person, when administered, scored, and interpreted correctly. There seems to be something mysterious about the test because it looks ambiguous, but in the simplest way the psychologist shows the ten inkblots, which are the stimuli, and what we get is really a sample of that patient's behavior. We then compare that sample of behavior to the norms that we've established over many years to determine whether the behavioral sample we've recruited using the Rorschach is consistent with any kind of diagnosis.
