Federal Court Bans "Judge" Title Outside Judicial Council
The Supreme Judicial Council of Iraq has decided that the title "Judge" cannot be used by individuals who have held positions outside the judiciary, based on a ruling by the Federal Supreme Court. This decision follows the transfer of some judges to work in the legislative or executive branches. The ruling was issued in September 2021 and canceled a previous legal provision that allowed the flexible use of the title. Additionally, during its session, the council approved the promotion of several judges and administrative formations, and instructed judges to cooperate with the Bar Association on the occasion of Lawyer's Day, waiving any complaints against lawyers in an effort to strengthen professional cooperation.
