Guam - The Supreme Court of Guam recently adopted a pro bono program. The effort was done through a committee of practicing attorneys appointed by Chief Justice F. Philip Carbullido. The goal of the new program encourages Guam attorneys to achieve at least fifty hours of free legal services annually to members of our community who cannot afford legal services.
The program also recognizes various charitable and civic volunteer works many attorneys do throughout the island. A presentation under this new program will also be held on October 22 at 10am at the Guam Territorial Law Library. The new pro bono program guidelines are available on GuamCourts.org.
