I promised myself a quality leather briefcase if I got a positive review for my first year at this new firm. So here I am. I want this to be my bag for the decade at least. I typically carry just a laptop, thin file folder or binder (I like to travel light) a coffee mug and a lunch container. Into dark brown leather. It would also be taken to court for light cases.

Anything anyone has fallen in love with?

Tecovas leather briefcase

My everyday just going to the office bag is a Boarding Pass NYC Flight Briefcase. Quality parts and construction. No complaints after a year of lugging it to the office.

I also occasionally carry a retro Samsonite hard side briefcase straight outta a law office in the 1980s (it was a gift from an older attorney)

Should note we are paperless so I’m not lugging huge files in the Boarding Pass bag.

If I had my choice though, no budget, Swaine Adney. Or at slightly lower price point Saddleback Leather

So stuck. What do I do? I joined this firm a year ago (4 yrs exp total) to grow/get more court/client exposure.

Boss claims it's mentoring. I still need to meet bill req.

Last wk Boss said I'll do more & my work was good, but today said I can't 2nd chair bc I don't have experience. I'm doing less now than my prior firm.

The amount of people, even attorneys, who can't separate out the policy merits of abortion from the issue of whether it is a constitutional right is disappointing.

Dobbs at its core is a case about the Due Process Clause, not the policy of abortion
