As an attorney, the way you look and the accessories you carry say a lot about you and your professionalism. Your attach case can speak volumes. But you also want it to be functional. You can have it all. Legal briefcases have come a long way in the past few years. Here are some pointers for choosing the right one for you.
Leather is and always has been a very classy material and in brief cases this is no exception. It is almost impossible to not notice a cheap vinyl imitation as opposed to good leather. Leather wears well and improves with age. It will take the scuffs and rubbings that you are going to be handing it very well, and come back still looking seasoned and professional. Although canvas and vinyl bags are available, a good leather case is going to be worth every penny you paid for it as you go through your career.
Shoulder straps should have adjustable buckling so that you can regulate them to what is comfortable for you. And handles should be padded. The hard plastic handles on some cases can pinch hands if grabbing them in a hurry. Everything about this briefcase should speak comfort and functionality, with style thrown in for good measure.
This is one place where size does matter. An ideal brief case matches the functions and materials that the user generally carries in it. Think about what you normally write on. If you use a long legal pad, check to see that it fits comfortably in the compartments. A case that expands like an accordion is nice because you can fill it with many papers and it will go back down to size when it is emptied.
Attorneys are on the road much more now than they ever used to be. Airports to court houses to meeting in clients homes, you travel the globe and a set of wheels can help you out tremendously. Not all brief cases have them but if you foresee running through airports or even long hauls from the parking garage to the court house in your future, definitely pick a bag with wheels for easy and fast transport.
The most expensive and well made case available will be no good to you if it does not have adequate spaces for your tools. This is your portable office. You need almost everything in your brief case that you use in your regular office. Therefore, pen loops, cell phone holders, built in business card cases and a place for your PDA are essential components.
You may choose to have your initials added to the case for personalization. This is a very nice touch that is optional on many styles. Or you can use the clear identification window to slip your business card in. This will identify it as yours.
This mobile office will serve you well if you choose the options that are functional for you. Legal briefcases are just one thing that gives an attorney the functionality that he or she needs and the great looks that they deserve.
