The Subject-Matter Jurisdiction of the Federal Supreme Court in Iraq An Analytical Study

Abstract

Abstract: It is undoubtedly true that the legislator, whether constitutional or ordinary, is responsible for determining the jurisdiction between the public authorities in the state. Among these authorities are the judicial authorities, which are considered one of the public authorities in the state. The legislator determines the jurisdiction of the judicial authority's formations, as they consist of multiple formations or bodies, in a way that eliminates overlap or conflict in jurisdiction between these bodies. Among these judicial bodies is the Federal Supreme Court, which is the highest judicial authority in the state, and which plays a large and important role. Its rulings and decisions are binding on all authorities in the state, and the specific jurisdiction of that court is determined precisely.
