Legislation has been introduced to allow the chief justice of the Supreme Court of Guam to appoint Magistrates and Judicial Hearings Division officers and to provide for the creation of satellite court facilities. The measure, introduced by Senator Jim Espaldon, is inline with a recommendation made by the National Center for State Courts in their assessment of the Judiciary of Guam's capability to meet the current and future demands of the public.
