Guam § 6110 - Law Practice Prohibited.
Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 6110 — Law Practice Prohibited., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 6110. Law Practice Prohibited.
No full-time Justice, Judge, (except Judges appointed pro tempore), clerk of court, deputy, assistant
or other officer of a court shall practice law in any court of Guam during his or her continuance in office
nor be in partnership with a practicing attorney. This section shall apply to law clerks of the Supreme Court
and of the Superior Court; provided, that such law clerks, if otherwise qualified, may represent and advise
the court or any judicial officer, clerk or marshal, in matters concerning the official business of the court or
officer thereof if no other law provides for such representation.
1985 SOURCE: § 174 CCP (Guam) as modified.
CROSS-REFERENCES: 5 GCA § 30107 and § 30108.
1985 COMMENT: Law clerks have been included within the purview of this Section in this draft. Their inclusion was
not made heretofore as the existence of law clerks in the Superior Court is of more recent origin than former CCP §
174.
A proviso has been added to permit law clerks, if otherwise admitted to practice law (either generally or
specially), to represent the Court, judges, the clerks and marshals, in any action involving their official duties, and to
advise them in cases where questions arise before they are actually sued. Normally, the Attorney General provides such
representation P.L. 13-117 (GC § 7007 and § 7006). However, circumstances may occur where the Attorney General
may represent another agency of the government in the same matter, or where the Attorney General may be the party
bringing the action.
