A place for judge not left in chambers (5)
I believe the answer is:
atria
'chambers' is the definition.
(atrium is a kind of chamber)
'a place for judge not left' is the wordplay.
'place for judge' becomes 'trial' (a judge presides over a trial).
'not' suggests deleting specific letters.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'trial' with 'l' taken out is 'tria'.
'a'+'tria'='ATRIA'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for atria that I've seen before include "Upper chambers of the heart" , "Central courtyards" , "entrances" , "Lobbies" , "Central areas in buildings; open to the sky" .)
