temporarily without written examination and only for the purposes of such employment if, upon application, the Board determines that the person meets the qualifications of subsections (b) through (f) of § 9A113 of this Article; and is: (1) admitted to practice in the highest court of a state or territory of the United States; and (2) professionally, morally and ethically qualified for admission to the Bar of Guam and the admission of such person would be in the best interests of the Territory. In every case, the burden shall be upon the person seeking admission pursuant to this section to establish his qualifications for admission. An admission issued pursuant to this section shall state its temporary nature and it shall terminate automatically when the person ceases to be employed by the Government or by the United States. While admitted under this section, a person shall be classified as an active member of the Bar of Guam with all the responsibilities and privileges thereof. SOURCE: GC § 28019.1 added by P.L. 14- 104:1; amended by P.L. 15-66:VI:17-18; 15-94:10, 16-45:1, 16-72:18; repealed/ reenacted by P.L. 16-80:11; expiration date repealed by P.L. 17-3:3. Formerly numbered Appendix A 7 GCA § 9114, renumbered by Compiler to § 9A114. NOTE: Must be cross-referenced with the current Rules Governing Admission to the Practice of Rules and/or the current Rules for the Discipline of Attorneys to determine whether it was repealed. See COMMENT above. COMMENT: This section has had a long and complex history. Most recently, it was reenacted by P.L. 16-80:11. However, sections 12 and 13 of that same public law simultaneously repealed the reenactment and put off that repeal until March 5, 1983 (about one year after enactment of the law itself). The result would have been that this reenacted section had a life of only one year. However, before that could take place, P.L. 17-3:3, which became law on March 3, 1983, repealed both sections 12 and 13 of P.L. 16-80. The result of this repealer is that the above section remains in effect with no "sunset provision" attached.
