June 15, 2012 - PRLog -- ORANGE COUNTY (June 14, 2012) – Snell & Wilmer is pleased to announce that Mary-Christine “M.C.” Sungaila, partner in the firm’s Orange County office, has been elected to the board of an independent Los Angeles nonprofit literary publisher, Red Hen Press.

Red Hen Press is committed to publishing works of literary excellence, supporting diversity, and promoting literacy in local schools. Originally established as a publisher of poetry, about half of the 20 titles Red Hen releases annually now are literary novels and memoirs. In addition to their active reading series, the nonprofit has a community outreach project that sends published poets and authors to elementary, middle, and high schools in Southern California to teach creative writing. Red Hen then publishes participating students' work in the Writing in the Schools Anthology. Red Hen’s biannual Los Angeles Review has become one of the most widely read literary journals on the West Coast.

In her role as a board member, Ms. Sungaila will focus on the organization’s strategic growth and serve on the Development Committee. She became involved with the press after working alongside Red Hen founder Kate Gale on Claremont Graduate University’s Arts and Humanities Board of Advisors.  “I am pleased to support and serve as a strategic partner with Red Hen Press, which is at the center of literary life in Los Angeles,” said Ms. Sungaila.

M.C. Sungaila, an appellate partner at Snell & Wilmer, seeks out opportunities to initiate positive policy changes which impact both her clients and their industries. Fortune 500 companies and leading international human rights organizations have relied on Sungaila, who has briefed, argued and won appeals in various subject areas, including ones that have helped define the scope of the duty to warn sophisticated users of product hazards, set the guidelines for admitting expert testimony at trial, limited the reach of medical monitoring claims, clarified the standards for interstate enforcement of noncompete agreements and secured important rights for women and girls in California, nationally and internationally.
