MLSC closed until March 31<\/p>\n
The Marianas Office of Micronesian Legal Services Corp. will be closed for two weeks from March 18 to 31. While some staff may come in to the office during that time, we will not be open to the public. We believe this step is important because the COVID-19 virus is spreading in our region and extreme precautionary measures are being called for to slow the spread and \u201cflatten the curve\u201d of the pandemic. Gov. Ralph DLG Torres has urged everyone to stay home for two weeks and has closed down non-essential government work. The Marianas Office of MLSC believes it is important to participate in the attempt to slow the spread of the epidemic by closing and limiting contact with others. We apologize for the inconvenience.
