Vol. 5 No. 2 (2024)
The Researcher Journal for Legal Sciences is steadily progressing through its scientific and academic activities by publishing scientific and academic outputs in the field of legal studies. In order to engage with the Arab and international legal community, the journal has given special importance to publishing academic research by professors and researchers from Arab and foreign countries, supporting its vision and strategy for the exchange of scientific output. The journal continues its academic contribution, now reaching Volume 5, Issue 2. As is customary for the journal and its system, the submitted papers undergo scientific expertise and objective peer review by experts who determine their suitability for scientific publication. The journal has spared no effort in its tireless pursuit of being indexed in global repositories, through the development of its publishing system and the adoption of scientific standards followed by the most prestigious international journals in the field of legal research.
This issue aligns with its goal and desire to achieve academic openness, as it includes a collection of research papers from researchers outside the Republic of Iraq. The topics and contents of these papers are diverse across various fields of legal research. It also includes several research papers by Iraqi researchers, with the foreign research papers listed under the section for non-Iraqi researchers. The titles and topics of these papers vary in specialization and scope. The first paper is titled "The Classification of Inmates in Reform and Rehabilitation Centers According to the Nelson Mandela Rules," while the second is "Social Justice in Positive Law: An Analytical and Philosophical Study." The third paper is "Bullying in Public Sector Employment and its Criminal Response: A Comparative Analytical Study," and the fourth paper is "The Legal Organization of Redemption Sales in Iraqi and Jordanian Law: A Comparative Study." The fifth paper is titled "The Role of Interdisciplinary Studies in Establishing the Foundations of Technical Criminal Law: An Analytical Study." The sixth and final paper from non-Iraqi researchers is "The Legal System of Banking Acquisition in Jordanian Law."
As for the research from Iraq, the topics are diverse in their content. The first paper is titled "The Law on Ratifying the Khawr Abdullah Agreement No. (42) of 2013 and its Compatibility with the Provisions of the Iraqi Constitution and the Decisions of the Federal Supreme Court." The second paper is "The Provisions of the Winning Deal in Pledge of Possession: A Comparative Analytical Study," and the final research paper is "Mechanisms for Obtaining Digital Evidence and Using It as Evidence in Cybercrimes."
We hope that these outputs will provide scientific benefit, opening avenues for thought and reflection on legal issues, or enrich law practitioners, implementers, and researchers in finding solutions to real-world problems through research and study.
