About Us

The alumni magazine of Boston College Law School, BC Law Magazine, began publication in 1992 and chronicles the life of one of America’s leading professional academies. As the face of BC Law, the magazine endeavors to depict who we are, what we believe in, and what distinguishes us as a law school. A BC Law education is valued as something that connects human beings to other human beings, to a history of knowledge, and to a way of understanding what it means to be a person who plays a meaningful role in society. The magazine, in print and online, communicates these qualities using the best tools at our disposal: great storytelling and compelling images. Online, we serve as the daily face of the BC Law community and update our website content regularly to bring breaking news, online-only features, and event coverage to our users. In print, BC Law Magazine is published twice a year, in January and June, under the direction of Editor Vicki Sanders. Circulation is 18,000, including our nearly 13,000 alumni.

Robert Parsons / Seven Elm

Creative Director Robert Parsons majored in English at the University of New Hampshire, intending to become a journalist. But his first job found him less interested in writing copy (which, it turned out, he was never very good at) than in designing space for it. He has since worked in the art departments of the Atlantic, the music magazine Lollipop, Cook’s Illustrated, and Natural Health, before joining Boston magazine as art director in 2001. In 2008, he joined RMS Media as creative director of its two magazines—Northshore and Ocean Home—and its custom publishing division. He launched Seven Elm—a full-service creative agency specializing in brand strategy and design and editorial direction—in 2013. His work has been recognized by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education, the Society of Publication Designers, Communication Arts, I.D., and Print. Recent Seven Elm clients include Cedars-Sinai, Northeastern University, Simmons University, Suffolk University, American Airlines, Architectural Digest, and The Boston Globe. sevenelm.com
