After a bit of help and a lot of head scratching, unlike those clever people here who have finished, I am left with these:
67. Greek philosopher got the bird but had a scout around. 7,5
79. The club team used to solve cases. 8
0. He might do justice to an issuer of notes. 8
91. Sadly a bride's hands are tied. 7
96. Dull writing is abridged by ten - not specified. They are brought before a court. 12
97. Rarely granted a search. 7
98. Old prisoner serving his time in an educational establishment? 9
I would be most grateful for a hint or six so that I can submit a completed puzzle.
Thanks in advance.

Jeceris, the definition of 'collegian' is in Chambers, too.
Surely anyone who is interested in cryptic crosswords has a Chambers dictionary so I don't understand what people are complaining about.
Question Author
I've been successfully completing cryptics for decades and have never had access to a Chambers dictionary.
If it's not in Chambers you often get people saying "I found this in Collins......etc. For me a cryptic should be solvable from fodder and wordplay. They are after all crosswords not archaic knowledge puzzles.
Not sure why I am stuck on 82... any useful hints anyone?
Streak naked! Astounding behaviour, Brian, This will calm you down in seconds. 5
Chambers is online but I have noticed some of the words and definitions in my hardcopy of the eleventh edition are missing from the later, online version.

The online version doesn't have pronunciations either.
Danny, look at the 2nd letters of the words
82 taser
Thanks :) I had thought that was the answer, but not worked out why!! All done :)
second letter of the first five words

Meant to say, jj was correct with the hint for 90...
