"The mission of the District Court of Guam is to administer justice and to uphold the rule of law. To that end, we ensure decisions are issued in an impartial and timely manner, and we guarantee equal access to the court. We strive to improve the public trust and confidence in our court system by efficiently and effectively performing our duties with respect and fairness."
After reviewing the court's local rules for consistency with the current federal rules, the court has determined that local civil rule CVLR 77 requires modification. The federal rules now consider registration for electronic filing as constituting consent to service by electronic means using the transmission facilities of the court and a party may consent to electronic service by other means. In addition, the court has retitled its administrative procedures for electronic filing, and intends to modify local criminal rule CRLR 49 to reflect this change.
