Drunk on dodgy gin at legal party (8)
I believe the answer is:
litigant
'legal party' is the definition.
'litigant' can be an answer for 'party' (litigant is a kind of party). I am not sure about the 'legal' bit.
'drunk on dodgy gin at' is the wordplay.
'drunk' becomes 'lit' (slang term).
'on' means one lot of letters goes inside another (as in clothing 'on' a person).
'dodgy' indicates anagramming the letters (a dodgy or wrong order of the letters).
'gin'+'at'='ginat'
'ginat' with letters rearranged gives 'tigan'.
'lit' enclosing 'tigan' is 'LITIGANT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for litigant that I've seen before include "Party in lawsuit" , "Person involved in a lawsuit" , "One conducting a law suit" , "One who goes to law" , "Person taking a lawsuit" .)
