Choose a way to take slippery customers to court! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

select

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'choose a way' is the definition.
'select' can be an answer for 'choose' (synonyms). I am not certain of the 'a way' bit.

'slippery customers to court' is the wordplay.
'slippery customers' becomes 'sele' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to court' becomes 'ct'.
'sele'+'ct'='SELECT'

'to take' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for select that I've seen before include "Choose from several" , "Decide on - first-class" , "'Choose, pick out (6)'" , "Appoint" , "Of superior quality" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
