Tony Luong
Photographer Luong, who is based in Boston, received an MFA from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. His work has been exhibited in Boston and New York and has appeared in various magazines such as The Atlantic, New York Times, and Square, among others. Luong found common ground with Joe Mueller ’00 when photographing the litigator for “The Art of Persuasion,” an interaction that allowed them to form a space where the images didn’t feel forced. “It reaffirms how connected we all are if we take the time to learn about one another.”
Jeri Zeder
Writer Zeder describes how intellectual property lawyer Joseph J. Mueller ’00 (“The Art of Persuasion”) partnered his native inventiveness with his talent for teaching to reach the highest echelons of trial practice, traits that resonated with Zeder as the daughter of a patent-holding engineer and a school teacher. “It was delightful for me to get a glimpse into how Joe thinks.” Zeder also conducted Dean Odette Lienau’s interview with historian Jill Lepore and wrote about alum Erica L. Brody’s latest justice quest for children abused in foster care.

He’s served as National Director of the Gatorade Player of the Year program since 2006. In “When Justice Meets the Machine,” he explores how BC Law and the legal profession are engaging with AI. “Reporting this piece was like drinking from a firehose. More positive than negative came to the fore, but it’s clear this complex coexistence means getting comfortable with being uncomfortable.”
