The United States District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands is located on the island of Saipan, in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, at 15.1N 145.8E, or about 150 miles north of Guam in the northwest Pacific.
The local time in Saipan is GMT +10 hours. Saipan is on the other side of the International Date Line from the U.S. Mainland. At 8:00 am Eastern Standard Time, it is 11:00 pm the same day in Saipan.
