Future Judiciary hours of operation
The CNMI Judicial Council considers its hours of operation on a month-to-month basis to evaluate available financial resources, operations, and the provision of judicial services during this period of austerity. The Judicial Council will meet again on March 14, 2012. The hours of operation for April will be released shortly after the meeting on the CNMI Judiciary website, http://www.justice.gov.mp/.
