Macomber hired by Gonzaga law school
Coeur d'Alene-based water law and land use attorney Arthur B. Macomber has been hired as an Adjunct Professor of Law by Gonzaga University School of Law for teaching a spring 2012 Transactional Skills and Professionalism Lab, a required two-credit contracts course for first-year law students.
The course focuses on skills lawyers need for transactional practice, such as ascertaining the parties' intentions through interviews and negotiation, creatively structuring deals and drafting terms to achieve that intent, and imagining events that might later interfere with the transaction outcomes.
The course takes students through the early development of a commercial transaction, negotiating its terms and structure, and the drafting of transaction documents.
Macomber is licensed in both Washington and Idaho. He has taught Contracts for Paralegals at North Idaho College since 2007. Macomber Law, PLLC provides legal counsel on real property, land use, construction, and water law issues.
