A pronoun takes the place of a noun in a sentence. The pronoun that is taking the place of the noun (called the pronoun antecedent) must agree in number (singular, plural) and gender (male, female, neuter) with the noun antecedent. Example:

Judge John Lee insists on proper dress in his courtroom.

His agrees with the noun, Judge John Lee, one person and a male.

...in its courtroom or ...in their courtroom would not agree. Its means belongs to a thing, not a person; their means belonging to more than one person.
