Press Release Body: SAN DIEGO, Calif., Sept. 19, San Diego based construction law
firm, Scholefield Associates, P.C. announced that they are offering a construction
law and contract law class to local building-trade apprenticeship programs. This
class is being offered free of charge to any qualified building-trades training
program in the San Diego area. The class will provide the contractor-to-be with
valuable insight into the legal and business side of their trade.

"About three years ago we started providing a contract law class at the San Diego
Electrical Training Center, which is an International Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers (IBEW) apprenticeship program. The initial class was so well received that
we have been asked to return annually," said Pam Scholefield, the firm's lead
attorney and class instructor. "Because of the positive response by the electrical
apprenticeship program, we have decided to offer the construction law and contract
law class to other construction trades."

The class, which typically consists of one or two classroom sessions, each about
1.5-2 hours long, can be tailored for each training program. According to
Scholefield, most problems arise from confusing legal terms found in construction
contracts, or a misunderstanding of California laws that affect the contractor.
"Our goal is to give the entry level contractor the basic tools to understand the
contracts and construction law aspect of their chosen profession," says Scholefield.


Scholefield Associates is providing their legal expertise at no cost to the students
as a way to give back to the construction community in a positive and beneficial
way. Contact Bryan Weaver (619-544-0086 xt 105) to find out how to schedule this
class into your training program. Ms. Scholefield is also available to trade groups
for speaking engagements.
