Some stars with lawyer hedging capital (9)
I believe the answer is:
andromeda
'some stars' is the definition.
(constellation)
'with lawyer hedging capital' is the wordplay.
'with' becomes 'and'.
'lawyer' becomes 'da' (abbreviation for District Attorney).
'hedging' is an insertion indicator (some letters hedge or border others).
'capital' becomes 'Rome' (capital of Italy).
'and'+'da'='andda'
'andda' placed around 'rome' is 'ANDROMEDA'.
(Other definitions for andromeda that I've seen before include "shrub" , "Large northern constellation between Perseus and Pegasus" , "princess barely chained to rock" , "Pattern of stars" , "Strangely, man adored the constellation" .)
