Rails - Jan 2006 - alias for *table*_id

I have a table contacts, in another controller I refer to a particular 
contact_id as transfer_attorney_id or electrical_inspector_id - how do I 
create the necessary alias in the Contacts model?

sorry i didn''t explain this well,

I guess ill have to have an alias (transfer_attornies) for the table 
contacts, currently in my controller I have to do the following:

	@contract = Contract.find(params[:id])
	@attorney = Contact.find(@contract.transfer_attorney_id)

istead I want to do this

	@contract = Contract.find(params[:id])
	@attorney = Contact.find_by_transfer_attorney_id()

(or something like that..)
