Crossword Genius

Radiance of British justice (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brightness

'radiance' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'british justice' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'justice' becomes 'rightness'.
'b'+'rightness'='BRIGHTNESS'

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for brightness that I've seen before include "Luminosity" , "Intelligence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
