One lawyer in casual dress beneath consideration (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

negligible

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'beneath consideration' is the definition.
(negligible can mean not worth considering)

'one lawyer in casual dress' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'lawyer' becomes 'bl' (Bachelor of Law).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'casual dress' becomes 'neglige' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'i'+'bl'='ibl'
'ibl' placed into 'neglige' is 'NEGLIGIBLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for negligible that I've seen before include "Paltry" , "of no importance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
