FOLLOWING the passing of the CNMI’s Retired Chief Justice Miguel S. Demapan, a statement was issued by Chief Justice of Guam F. Philip Carbullido, expressing condolences and recalling Demapan’s contributions to the rule of law in the region.
“We are saddened to hear of the passing of Chief Justice Miguel S. Demapan. He served the judiciaries of the CNMI, Guam and Micronesia with integrity and fairness. His colleagues throughout the Marianas and Micronesia had the deepest respect and admiration for his untiring commitment to the Rule of Law,” Carbullido stated. “I join my colleagues in the CNMI, Guam and Micronesia in extending our deepest sympathy to Frances (wife of late Chief Justice Demapan) and their children.”
Over the course of his nearly 20-year career, Demapan served as both a Judge Pro Tempore in the Superior Court of Guam and Justice Pro Tempore of the Supreme Court of Guam, a press release from the Judiciary of Guam stated.
Demapan passed away on Saturday, June 30 in Saipan. A funeral is scheduled for Monday, July 9 in Saipan. Chief Justice Carbullido and some Guam Judiciary members will be attending the scheduled funeral services, therefore the public is advised that the Supreme Court of Guam has postponed its Monday, July 9 Oral Argument Session.
