Sub-post office rejected sensible legal documents (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

subpoenas

'legal documents' is the definition.
(subpoena is a kind of legal document)

'sub-post office rejected sensible' is the wordplay.
'post office' becomes 'po' (abbreviation).
'rejected' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'sensible' becomes 'sane' (sane can mean sensible or reasonable).
'sane' back-to-front is 'enas'.
'sub'+'po'+'enas'='SUBPOENAS'

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
