Draws out. Legal between points (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elicits

'draws out' is the definition.
('elicit' can be a synonym of 'draw out')

'legal between points' is the wordplay.
'legal' becomes 'licit' (similar in meaning).
'between' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'points' becomes 'es' (E is an example).
'licit' going inside 'es' is 'ELICITS'.

(Another definition for elicits that I've seen is " Draws out, response or information".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
