This is particularly welcome by the District Court of Guam in order to relieve the backlog of cases. Over the past 3 years our local District Court judge had one of the highest caseloads of similar judges in the country. The majority of his cases dealt with drug violations. illegal immigration cases. and firearms cases. Due to the vagaries of Guams Organic Act. the Guam District Court judge currently serves as both criminal and civil judge. and also functions as the magistrate judge. the bankruptcy judge. and the territorial tax court judge. Due to this huge caseload. the Ninth Circuit in California has had to send visiting judges to Guam to help manage the caseload.
