He worked in state service before building an academic career, and he is remembered as one of the notable Serbian writers in the field of civil law. Sources also describe him as an active public figure who belonged to the Progressive Party and withdrew from politics after 1919.
Perić died in Oberurnen, Switzerland, on September 12, 1953. His legacy has continued to attract scholarly and institutional interest, including a permanent exhibition on his life and work organized by the University of Belgrade Faculty of Law for the 150th anniversary of his birth.
