@pmd2003,
Not sure about the last two but the others are:
46d noontime rip produced sense of foreboding (11) = P _ _ M _ _ _ _ _ _ _premonition (anagram of noontime ripj)
25d discovered a decanter is cracked (11) = A S _ _ _ _ _ _ _ E _ ascertained (anagram of a decanter is)
15a these lawyers are not the sort to go to the bar (10) = S_E_C_T_R_ solicitors (check that 'E')
31a it might sound funny, but he does stand up for others (8) = _ _ _ E _ I _ _ comedian
47d arrogant about compass reading (11) = O _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ not sure, overbearing perhaps?
57d liking parking in front of entrance (8) = P_ _ _ _ _ _ _
