Law students at the American University of Iraq, Sulaimani (AUIS) had a unique opportunity to engage with Judge Rizgar Mohammed Amin, famously known as the presiding judge during the historic trial of Saddam Hussein, in a seminar organized by the AUIS Law Department.

During the seminar, Judge Amin shared his profound experiences from his career, offering students the realities of handling complex and highly sensitive cases. He spoke about the challenges of maintaining judicial independence under intense political pressure and the ethical responsibilities that come with being a judge. His reflections not only shed light on one of the most important trials of modern history but also conveyed timeless lessons on integrity, professionalism, and commitment to justice.

The event was part of the Law Department’s ongoing efforts to bridge academic study with real-world experience, providing students with direct exposure to influential figures in the legal profession. Students had the chance to ask questions, engage in discussions, and gain practical advice from Judge Amin's decades-long journey in law.

This inspiring event marks another step in AUIS 'commitment to offering its law students meaningful experiences that prepare them to become the next generation of ethical and courageous legal professionals.
