AI legal assistant for Iraqi law
The Iraqi Civil Code, drafted by Abd al-Razzaq al-Sanhuri, is among the most influential Arab codifications. LexArab answers questions on it and on Iraqi commercial and criminal law from the texts in its library.
The court system in Iraq
The Iraqi judiciary comprises civil, commercial and criminal courts, headed by the Federal Court of Cassation. The Council of State handles administrative disputes and advises government bodies.
Laws held in the LexArab library
The assistant answers from, and cites, these official texts:
- Civil Code No. 40 of 1951
- Commercial Law No. 30 of 1984
- Penal Code No. 111 of 1969
- Civil Procedure Code No. 83 of 1969
We are still improving some Iraqi texts: article numbers in scanned copies can be unreliable, and the assistant says so rather than guessing.
Getting a precise answer
Article numbers and rules differ sharply between Arab jurisdictions even where the principle is shared. So:
- Name Iraq in your question. If you do not, the assistant asks which country before answering.
- Say what the question is about: contract, liability, company, employment, criminal.
- Upload your contract or the other side document for analysis under Iraq law.
