Support the courts for your country (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
pro patria
'for your country' is the definition.
('for one's country' in Latin)
'support the courts' is the wordplay.
'support' becomes 'prop' (prop is a kind of support).
'the courts' becomes 'atria' (atrium is a kind of court).
'prop'+'atria'='PRO PATRIA'
(Another definition for pro patria that I've seen is " For one's country".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
