🎙#081: M.C. Sungaila - California Appellate Lawyer & Portia Project Podcast Host
👋 Welcome back to the How I Lawyer Podcast!
Today's Episode!
In today's episode I speak with appellate lawyer M.C. Sungaila who is an Orange County-based shareholder and leader of the appellate practice at Buchalter. M.C. has briefed and argued appeals in a number of different practice areas at the California Supreme Court and throughout the country. She has won numerous awards including California Lawyer of the Year from California Lawyer Magazine and the Ellis Island Medal of Honor. In addition to her practice, M.C. is active in pro bono and professional organizations. Among them, she is the co-chair of the Appellate Practice Committee for the ABA & is active in the National Association of Women Lawyers. She writes and speaks in popular and trade publications and has taught appellate law as an adjunct professor at Loyola Law School for a number of years. She is also the host of the absolutely fabulous podcast, the Portia Project, which interviews women on their path to the bench, the bar, and beyond. To quote Hamilton (sort of), the woman is non-stop!
In our conversation we discuss her path to appellate law (and what she loves about it), the pace of her practice, why she thinks that oral argument matters, her writing process (and why having a writing process is so important), the great parts about doing a clinic, the business side of appellate law, why she started the Portia Project Podcast and what she's learned from interviewing top female lawyers, and more.

I am looking to connect the podcast to more law students and junior lawyers. If you fit that demographic and want to discuss ways to do that, please send me an e-mail or direct message. Also if you are a student listener and you are willing to put a temporary How I Lawyer sticker on your laptop, water bottle, etc. I'll send you one for FREE. Just send me your address.
