Andrew M. Perlman is Dean and Professor of Law at Suffolk University Law School. Professor Perlman's work focuses on civil procedure, professional responsibility, and law practice technology and innovation.

In addition to his writings in civil procedure and professional responsibility, Professor Perlman helped to establish — and is the inaugural Director of — Suffolk’s Institute on Law Practice Technology and Innovation, which offers programs, courses, public lectures, and other information designed to educate students, the legal profession, and the public about technology’s transformation of the practice of law and the delivery of legal services.

Prior to joining the Suffolk faculty, Professor Perlman clerked for a federal district court judge and practiced as a litigation associate with the Chicago law firm of Schiff Hardin.
