Selected comments from lawyer at last admitted to bar? (7)
I believe the answer is:
excerpt
'selected comments from' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'lawyer at last admitted to bar?' is the wordplay.
'at last' indicates one should take the final letters.
'admitted to' indicates putting letters inside.
'bar?' becomes 'except' (both can mean 'not including').
The last letter of 'lawyer' is 'r'.
'r' put into 'except' is 'EXCERPT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for excerpt that I've seen before include "Quote" , "Literary section" , "Textual passage" , "Piece of work" , "a little" .)
