Latest tip embraced by judge (6)
I believe the answer is:
trendy
'latest' is the definition.
(related meaning)
'tip embraced by judge' is the wordplay.
'tip' becomes 'end' (tip can mean the end of something).
'embraced by' is an insertion indicator.
'judge' becomes 'try' (as in trialling a defendant).
'end' placed inside 'try' is 'TRENDY'.
(Other definitions for trendy that I've seen before include "In fashion, of popular style" , "following latest convention" , "Smart" , "Informally fashionable" , "In accordance with the latest fad" .)
