Ross

I believe the answer is:

age

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

'time' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'senior lawyer on at the end of prime' is the wordplay.
'senior lawyer' becomes 'ag' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'at the end of' indicates one should take the final letters.
The final letter of 'prime' is 'e'.
'ag'+'e'='AGE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for age that I've seen before include "16/18 [INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION]" , "Get old" , "How long something has existed" , "Mature, grow in years" , "Years lived so far" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
