Shrewd woman avoids pressing judge angrily (7)

I believe the answer is:

irately

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

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

'shrewd woman avoids pressing judge' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'woman' could be 'ira' and 'ira' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for irately that I've seen before include "Angrily" , "Cross style" , "With great anger" .)
