Boring point of law (3)
I believe the answer is:
awl
'boring' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'point of law' is the wordplay.
'law' can be anagrammed to 'AWL'.
However, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for awl that I've seen before include "Sharp point" , "Pointed tool for making small holes" , "Pointed tool used in leatherwork" , "Law about a drilling tool" , "Something needed for boring jobs" .)
