Female judge visiting islands in Pacific state (4)
I believe the answer is:
fiji
'pacific state' is the definition.
(country in the Pacific Ocean)
'female judge visiting islands' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'judge' becomes 'J' (abbreviation for judge).
'visiting' indicates putting letters inside.
'islands' becomes 'ii' (an abbreviation for island written twice).
'j' placed into 'ii' is 'iji'.
'f'+'iji'='FIJI'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for fiji that I've seen before include "South Pacific member of the Commonwealth" , "Pacific island state" , "Pacific island member of the Commonwealth, capital Suva" , "Southwest Pacific republic made up of 844 islands" , "Pacific island country" .)
