Kind barristers blew case? (3)
I believe the answer is:
ilk
'kind' is the definition.
(ilk can mean a type or kind)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ilk that I've seen before include "Type - kind" , "Sort or type of silks" , "Of that kind in Kilkenny" , "Type of milksop" , "Disposition" .)
