7 GCA § 9A210

(a) The Bar of Guam, or an attorney against whom a final judgment has been rendered by the Superior Court in any case involving suspension, disbarment or non-disciplinary suspension or disbarment may appeal any final judgment of the Superior Court to the Appellate Division of the District Court of Guam on matters of law and fact, but the Appellate Division of the District Court of Guam may reverse or remand to the Superior Court on matters of fact only where the findings of the Superior Court on matters of fact were clearly erroneous. The action of the Superior Court shall be stayed pending the outcome of the appeal to the District Court Appellate Division. (b) A decision by the Ethics Committee on the matters within its authority to decide, such as reprimands and settlements, may not be appealed to the Appellate Division of the District Court of Guam, but reprimands may be appealed only to the Supreme Court. Proceedings in such an appeal to the Superior Court shall be taken in the same manner as are recommendations reported to the Court by the Bar of Guam, but shall be taken by the attorney aggrieved.
