Description
Professor Emeritus Richard Perlmutter discusses his background, his nearly 40-year teaching career at Suffolk University Law School, and his experiences in the legal profession. Professor Perlmutter describes the changes over time in Suffolk Law School’s curriculum, culture, and physical space. He also comments on the rising cost of obtaining a law degree and how that endangers Suffolk’s longstanding identity as a “school of opportunity.” He talked about the different classes he taught from the intro to law class, and sports law and everything in between. The interview concludes with his thoughts on how students should approach their career path, plus what you need to do to succeed at Suffolk and in life.
