One could get fleeced here in court — lawyers principally stick together (4,6)

I believe the answer is:

wool-staple

'one could get fleeced here' is the definition.

'court lawyers principally stick together' is the wordplay.
'court' becomes 'woo' ('woo' can be a synonym of 'court'**).
'principally' says to take the initial letters.
'stick together' becomes 'staple'.
The first letter of 'lawyers' is 'l'.
'woo'+'l'+'staple'='WOOL-STAPLE'

'in' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
