In bodies a judge addresses damages (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

injuries

'damages' is the definition.

'in bodies a judge addresses' is the wordplay.
'bodies a judge addresses' becomes 'juries' (a jury is a legal body addressed by a judge).
'in'+'juries'='INJURIES'

(Other definitions for injuries that I've seen before include "Wounds" , "Traumas to the body" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
