Clue/Question:  The courtroom was brand-new, and the judge was ready to – – –

Answer:  GIVE IT A TRY

(Now, that’s what I call a stinky pun!  But, do the judges actually “try” the cases?  I thought the lawyers “try” the cases, and the judge hears them, or presides over the trials.  I watch a lot of legal dramas, but I’m kinda fuzzy on this.  Is “try” kind of a flexible term?  Any judges or lawyers out there?

All of today’s clue words are familiar old friends.  Although, each of their jumbles are coming up as new.  All of them are good, but none of them held me up.  The answer letter layout was a wonderful ten letter jumble, and not obvious.  I think the leading nature of the clue/question, and the final answer slots, were what made the answer evident to me.

Fine cartoon of what looks to be a new and modern courtroom.  There probably should be a flag or two though.  No jurors, or anything.  Maybe this judge does the pre-trial hearings, or something.  Either way, I thought this was a fun Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
