Welcome to the Airport Lawyer

Welcome to The Airport Lawyer blog. I’m your host, Sheryl Schelin. Let’s play our game.

I am the inhouse staff attorney for the Horry County (South Carolina) Department of Airports, owner and operator of a system of commercial and general aviation airports including Myrtle Beach International, Loris, Grand Strand, and Conway-Horry County airports. Let’s get all the fine print out of the way first, shall we?

1. The views and opinions expressed in this blog are strictly and solely my own, and in no way represent or reflect on the views or opinions of Horry County, its Department of Airports, or any of its officials, employees, or board or commission members. (That said, I don’t intend to do much pontificating in here. I’ve created this blog mostly to publish new developments in airport law or aspects related to representing airports, though certainly I may offer an opinion or two in discussing those developments.)
2. Also: nothing herein is intended to create an attorney-client relationship. By posting here, I am strictly attempting to offer a service to other airport attorneys and those who might be interested in airport law, or affected by its development. I am neither seeking nor will I accept duties of representation of any other individual. I’m a full-time public employee, just like your local zoning administrator or garbage collector. I am not engaged in private practice, and have no desire to be engaged in private practice in the future. So – read and enjoy, but don’t ask me to show up for your DUI hearing.
3. Finally, under no circumstances should any content in this blog be taken as legal advice. If you need legal advice, you are advised to seek the counsel of a licensed attorney in your state.

That about covers it! Please feel free to post comments and email me directly with questions, comments, or suggestions for future topics/posts.
