There are more than 4,000 airports in the country, and most of these airports are owned by governments. A 2003 survey conducted by Airports Council International North America concluded that city ownership accounts for 38 percent, followed by regional airports at 25 percent, single county at 17 percent, and multi-jurisdictional at 9 percent. Primary legal services to these airports are, in most cases, provided by municipal, county, and state attorneys. Reports and summaries produced by the ACRP continuing legal studies project and published as ACRP Legal Research Digests are developed to assist attorneys seeking to address the legal problems encountered during airport development and operations. Such substantive areas as eminent domain, environmental concerns, leasing, contracting, security, insurance, civil rights, and tort liability present cutting-edge legal issues for which research is needed. Airport legal research, when conducted through the TRBs legal studies process, is focused on either collecting primary data that usually are not available elsewhere or analyzing existing literature.
