Allowed by law

I believe the answer is:

legal

'allowed by law' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for legal that I've seen before include "Above board" , "right" , "Conforming with the law" , "Observing acts" , "Allowed by law" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
