legit answer for OP:
I would make sure that whatever you choose has divided sections on the inside for your files so you can keep cases separate. Lot's of pockets for different needs...cell phone, pens, business cards and so on.
Make sure the briefcase can hold legal files if that is what your firm uses. If they use letter sized files, you're fine.
I prefer the look of soft leather briefcases rather than the traditional hard shell cases.
Rather than search this board I would google best attorney briefcases and start there and find a style that fits your needs. BUT PERSONALLY, I would tell your father that you think it would be best that you work for a few months and he buy it then so you have a better idea as to what your needs are. I guess what I'm saying is, no one on here will know the answer as to what you need because I have no idea what area of law you will work in or how much you will be traveling. Nothing worse than buying an expensive item and it not fit any of your needs. Take some time.

My experiences:
I rotate between three bags, a Hartmann that is just ballistic nylon and leather, a Filson and a Saddleback. I also have an Aston leather bag I never use (but it's fine). It's probably ridiculous to have 3 laptop/briefcases, but I really do or have gotten a lot of use out of each.
Hartmann: Probably the most utilitarian. Had it 8 months, use it for work and travel, has gone on international trips, looks the exact same as new. It's the most boring but the most easy to use.
Saddleback: Probably the coolest of the 3, but it's large and the lack of zippers makes it kind of annoying. Definitely gets the most compliments, and will obviously last forever. I probably haven't used it in six months.
Filson: It's a good size, it looks good, but other than looks the Hartmann does everything better. I still use it a fair amount, but it's designed more for aesthetics and durability than practicality.
I assume Tumi makes really useful and durable bags, but I think they generally look like shite. I came close to buying one once, and still may try one eventually, but they just look too "traveling salesman/IT guy" IMO.
