Crossword Genius

Underwear for barristers (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

briefs

This clue is a double definition.

'underwear' is the first definition.
(I know that Briefs is a type of pants)

'barristers' is the second definition.
(informal term for a lawyer or barrister)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for briefs that I've seen before include "Documents stating facts and points of law" , "small underwear" , "Digests" , "by which privates will be constrained" , "Underpants, knickers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
