Creep somehow makes an impression with legal examples (10)
I believe the answer is:
precedents
'legal examples' is the definition.
'precedents' can be an answer for 'examples' (precedent is a kind of example). I am not sure about the 'legal' bit.
'creep somehow makes an impression' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'makes an impression' becomes 'dents' (I've seen this in another clue).
'creep' anagrammed gives 'prece'.
'prece'+'dents'='PRECEDENTS'
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for precedents that I've seen before include "historical justifications" , "previous cases?" .)
