Guam law

Guam law is primarily based on a combination of U.S. federal law and local statutes enacted by the Guam Legislature. As a U.S. territory, Guam follows many federal laws, but it also has its own legal system to address local issues. The island's laws cover various areas, including criminal justice, civil rights, family matters, and business regulations. The judiciary consists of local courts, including the Guam Supreme Court, which interprets laws and decides cases. Additionally, Guam's unique cultural context influences its laws, reflecting the values and traditions of its diverse population.
