Lawyers Commute To Teach At UI

Boise attorneys William Mauk and Jon Bauman are commuting to Moscow one day a week to teach classes at the University of Idaho law school.

Mondays, Mauk teaches a threecredit course about employment law and Fridays, Bauman is teaching a three-credit course about Idaho worker’s compensation law.

“Both gentlemen are specialists in the areas they are teaching,” Jack Miller, acting dean, said.

Mauk and Bauman will pay their own travel expenses and are compensated at the same rate as local adjuncts. Mauk is a partner in the law firm of Skinner, Fawcett & Mauk and Bauman is an associate with the Evans, Keane law firm.

Miller said students can get “an extra insight into the practicalities of engaging in the business of practicing law” from Mauk and Bauman.
