Choose possibly to take Lee to court (5)
I believe the answer is:
elect
'choose' is the definition.
(electing is a kind of choosing)
'to take lee to court' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'lee' is 'ele' which is located in the answer.
'court' could be 'ct' and 'ct' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'possibly' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elect that I've seen before include "Bring to office" , "Appoint through ballot" , "Exclusive group" , "Make" , "Vote to put into power" .)
