Passing around legal document or script (11)
I believe the answer is:
handwriting
'script' is the definition.
('handwriting' can be a synonym of 'script')
'passing around legal document' is the wordplay.
'passing' becomes 'handing' ('hand' can be a synonym of 'pass'**).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'legal document' becomes 'writ' (writ is a kind of legal document).
'handing' placed around 'writ' is 'HANDWRITING'.
'or' is the link.
(Another definition for handwriting that I've seen is " That which is studied by a calligrapher".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
