Whistleblower cases are usually heard in the federal courts.
The District Court of Guam would have original (trial) jurisdiction over the case, and appeals would go to the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, headquartered in San Francisco, California. Arguments for appellate cases initiated in Guam are heard in Honolulu, Hawaii (although the Ninth Circuit doesn't maintain its own courthouse on the Island).
The Supreme Court of the United States has final appellate authority, but only grants certiorari to a few cases per year. Most are settled at the District or Circuit Court levels.
Guam's territorial court system, which is the equivalent of the state courts in the US, includes Superior Court and the Supreme Court of Guam. Decisions of the Supreme Court of Guam may be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States.
