What is a Briefcase?
A briefcase is a portable case designed to carry documents, books, files, and other printed material, along with flat objects of a relatively small size. Briefcases have historically been used by lawyers to carry briefs on their way to court, explaining the name, although they are also carried by business people. Many businesspeople remember their first briefcases fondly, in fact, since the briefcase is such an important emblem in the business world.
