Excluding lawyers? (3)
I believe the answer is:
bar
This clue is a double definition.
'excluding' is the first definition.
(bar can mean excluding or except)
'lawyers?' is the second definition.
(the bar can mean the legal profession)
(Other definitions for bar that I've seen before include "Drinking place - lawyers!" , "Except - lawyers" , "A pub counter, or barristers' profession" , "Pub room; sandbank" , "Counter; prevent" .)
