Guam's Chief Justice Robert Torres was one of 11 distinguished honorees recognized for making a more just world during the National Judicial College’s 60th-anniversary celebration held at the renowned New York Athletic Club.  

Themed “Being Heard and Ensuring Fairness,” the event featured a series of discussion panels on access to justice, procedural fairness, and the fundamental importance of equal treatment under the law.

In addition to receiving the award, Chief Justice Torres was featured as a panelist.

Torres stated, “I am thrilled by the National Judicial College’s recognition and to share this honor alongside my friend, New York Chief Judge Rowan Wilson. I also share this with the 400 men and women of the branch who each play a role in delivering justice to the people of Guam every day.”
