He is also active in a number of bar related activities in Massachusetts and was recently appointed to the Supreme Judicial Court's Standing Advisory Committee on the Rules of Professional Conduct, which reviews issues and proposals concerning the Massachusetts Rules of Professional Conduct.

Prior to joining the Suffolk faculty, Professor Perlman was an associate-in-law at Columbia Law School, where he conducted research on professional responsibility issues, taught legal research and writing, and received his LL.M.
