§ 8106. Marshal; Duties.
The Marshal or his or her deputies shall attend all sessions of the Supreme and Superior Courts, unless
excused by a Judge or Justice at whose session the Marshal or Deputy should otherwise attend, and preserve
order. He or she shall serve and execute process, writs and orders issued under the laws of Guam by a Court
of record when so directed by the Court and for this purpose shall have all the powers conferred by law on
the Police Chief of the Guam Police Department and on the Mayors of municipal districts. He or she shall
perform such other duties as may be directed by the Judicial Council, or by the Rules and Procedures
adopted by the Judicial Council.
1985 SOURCE: CCP § 197 modified.
1985 COMMENT: A clause is added to the first sentence allowing a judge to excuse the marshal or a deputy from
attendance at that judge’s session. This is added to that someone does not make attendance of the marshal or deputy a
jurisdictional matter upon appeal. (Suggested by Law Revision Commission.) Also references added to include the
Supreme Court, which will share marshal services until such time as additional personnel are required.
