i want to display posts with term 10 and select value item2 ,item3

<?php
$args = array(
‘post_type’ => ‘lawyer’,
‘posts_per_page’ => -1,
‘tax_query’ => array(
array(
‘taxonomy’ => ‘city_taxonomy’,
‘field’ => ‘id’,
‘terms’ => 11,
),
),

‘meta_query’ => array(
‘relation’ => ‘AND’,
array(
‘key’ => ‘service-type’,
‘value’ => array(‘item2′,’item3’),
‘compare’ => ‘IN’,
),
),

);

You would be better off using another custom taxonomy than trying to use a select field. You cannot use “IN” caparisons with a select field. See section 3. Multiple custom field values (array based values) of this document.
