Comments on the clue
1.Excellent &lit, clever use of 'chambers', by far the best in my opinion.
2.Brilliant clue, although do counsel wear wigs in chambers as well as in court? I'm afraid I'm ignorant of such things.
3.Very neat & lit. Good use of 'defending'
4.Excellent, but the explanation of a quite complex clue would have been made much clearer by the use of brackets
5.Great clue: natural language, excellent '& lit.' def.-by-example (hence the question mark), top marks from me.
