Suffolk University Law School professor Andrew Perlman is one of the lucky 10,000 people selected to get an early test drive of the Google Glass — the futuristic specs outfitted with a small computer screen over the right eye, a camera and an internet connection.

Perlman earned a crack at the glasses before they become available to the public by submitting a proposal to experiment with them to improve classroom teaching and legal practice. For example, shy students might feel more comfortable texting a question for Perlman to field via the new device. Or a lawyer might use them to record a deposition or allow colleagues to weigh in via text message.

“The glasses could facilitate a lot of things that lawyers do,” Perlman said.
