The District Court of Guam mourns the death of Chief District Judge John S. Unpingco, who died on October 11.

A public servant of the highest order, Judge Unpingco’s career is hallmarked by his exceptional service to Guam. His legal acumen and experience as a trial attorney and international law practitioner with the U.S. Armed Forces earned him a nomination in 1992 as judge for the District Court of Guam, where he faithfully served for over 12 years.

Judge Unpingco was nominated to be a district judge for the District Court of Guam by President George H.W. Bush. He was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on Sep. 24, 1992, and received his judicial commission on Oct. 9, 1992.

Unpingco received a Master of Laws degree, specializing in International Law, from Georgetown University, Washington, D.C.; a Master of Business Administration and Juris Doctor from New York University, New York City; and a Bachelor of Arts, magna cum laude from St. Louis University, St. Louis, Missouri. The Judge was former U.S. Air Force Judge Advocate General (prosecutor); former Command Counsel at the Naval Warfare Center in China Lake, California. After Judge Unpingco served eleven years with the Court, he resigned from office effective April 30, 2004.
