In this bag, two things for lawyers to work on (8)
I believe the answer is:
suitcase
'in this bag two things for lawyers to work on' is the definition.
'suitcase' can be an answer for 'bag' (synonyms). I am not certain of the remainder of the definition.
'in this bag' is the wordplay.
'in this' becomes 'suit' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'bag' becomes 'case' (I have seen 'Overnight bag' mean 'case' so perhaps 'bag' could also mean 'case').
'suit'+'case'='SUITCASE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for suitcase that I've seen before include "Travel bag" , "Piece of luggage" , "Travel item (two legal terms!)" , "that traveller may take" , "Sauciest sort of clothes container" .)
