Recommend a lawyer (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

advocate

This clue is a double definition.

'recommend' is the first definition.
(I know that recommend can be written as advocate)

'a lawyer' is the second definition.
(advocate is a kind of lawyer)

(Other definitions for advocate that I've seen before include "Brief" , "Caveat, do about lawyer in court" , "Recommend like counsellor?" , "Publicly support (cause)" , "Person who pleads for a cause or idea" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News and The Globe and Mail.
