    The Student’s Guide to Central Admission in Iraqi Universities for the 2022-2023 academic year shows that there are 21 government colleges to teach law in Iraq, with the exception of those in the Kurdistan region, most of which provide evening lessons attended by a large number of students, compared to the number of students admitted to the morning study. The sum of their mark scores is lower.
    As for the number of private law colleges, it exceeds 35 colleges, excluding those in the Kurdistan region, and very simple admission requirements are applied in terms of total grades, which caused a very large number of lawyers to join the union, who wish to work in the courts, which harmed the value of the wages that They receive it in light of intense competition, raising the unemployment rate among them to unprecedented levels.
    In Najaf Governorate, lawyer Zainab Al-Amiri told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that “the Iraqi Bar Association has repeatedly asked the Ministry of Higher Education to raise the acceptance rates for students wishing to study law, while problems arose when the Ministry recognized the huge number of private law faculties, after it continued to have discreetly for years, and only accepts those with good averages.”
    She added, "The syndicate is trying to limit the increase in the number of lawyers by imposing courses, exams and interviews on graduates after they have submitted an application to join the syndicate."
    For her part, lawyer Orouba
    Abdel Qader, who practices in the capital, Baghdad, does not link the decline of the profession with the presence of a large number of private colleges, as lawyers also bear part of the responsibility, given that most of those who joined To the union, they currently lack methods of dealing and dialogue, some of them are not even good at work priorities, which puts them in embarrassing situations with the parties to the lawsuits submitted and the judges. 
    She stresses the need to intensify training courses to compensate for students' loss of scientific and practical qualification during the study years that accompanied the spread of the Corona virus, and says: "The number of courts and judges compared to the number of registered cases also affects the work of lawyers. The number of appeal courts in Iraq, with the exception of the Kurdistan region, is 16, while the number of Registered lawyers are about 150,000, and it is subject to an increase.
    She continues: "Currently, government employment has become an impossible dream for graduates. As for the private sector, its opportunities are almost non-existent. Therefore, students have no choice but to join the syndicate and work alone or with law firms that offer very few salaries that are not commensurate with the efforts of lawyers."

    The lawyer refrains from assigning authority in cases related to a person from an armed faction (Ahmed Al-Rubaie/AFP)
    Abdel-Qader recalled that "officers monopolize lawyers by agreeing with them on certain amounts in exchange for their nomination to defend defendants, and to convince their families to appoint them in cases, which greatly affects the chances of appointing new lawyers."
    As for the difficulties that lawyers face in practicing the profession, Abdel Qader explains that “it includes the slow procedures for completing official papers, which puts them in embarrassing situations with their clients, and the legal profession is not an easy profession, as most lawyers are subjected to threats from the opponent in the lawsuit filed. And sometimes clients threaten them.” themselves if they fail to win a case, leading to being targeted with assassination attempts.The recurrence of incidents against lawyers in recent times has allowed them to obtain licenses to carry personal weapons.It is also known that external interventions affect the proceedings, particularly the clan interventions that often accompany lawsuits Legitimacy, women’s rights and child custody. These interventions forced one of my clients to give up her children and end the lawsuit.”

    In another incident, the lawyer in Maysan Governorate, Ahmed Al-Saadi, told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that "one of the judges was forced to close an important case after he was subjected to great pressure from tribesmen to take a decision to convert it into a clan separation, and to settle the dispute between them away from the courts and judges." In some cases, the lawyer refuses to delegate in cases where one of the parties is affiliated with an armed faction outside the law or is affiliated with a certain political party that the lawyer wants to avoid confronting.”

    External interventions accompany the lawsuits (Sabah Arar/AFP)
    A lawyer for one court,
    and a member of the Iraqi Bar Association, Ahmed Al-Obeidi, said to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that “many lawyers do not deserve to face unemployment, while the number of intruders in the profession is very large, and some of them accept to plead for criminals or persons involved in misdemeanours, so they wrong the victims by defending They were taken out of prisons, taking advantage of their extensive relations, which include issues of financial and administrative corruption that corrode state institutions.”
    He describes the problem of unemployment for law and law graduates in Iraq as "the result of the large and continuous pumping of law graduates into the labor market. There are at least 1,000 lawyers in cities that include one court, so some of them work in the implementation of transactions or provide services at the doors of the departments."
    He believes that raising the legal culture in private sector companies and public institutions will create job opportunities for lawyers.

    Tribal Interventions
    As for the lawyer Muayyad Al-Azzi, who works in Kirkuk Governorate, he told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that “the clan’s interventions in lawsuits play a positive role in resolving many problems and disputes and dealing with them by mutual consent between all parties to the conflict, knowing that the records of the clan separation are considered among the supporting documents that Take it out on the courts.
    Despite the scarcity or even non-existence of job opportunities, especially for graduates of recent years who also face great difficulties and challenges if they are assigned with certain lawsuits, the lawyer pays 600,000 Iraqi dinars ($411) to obtain a union membership card if he is a graduate of government colleges, and 850 One thousand dinars ($582) if he is a graduate of private colleges, while both pay 225 thousand dinars ($154) to renew the card annually.[/size]
