At the invitation of the American University of Iraq-Baghdad (AUIB), a group of four students from the College of Law participated as judges in the international commercial arbitration competition. The event was attended by the Minister of Justice and a number of Iraqi and foreign personalities and law specialists in the American University in Baghdad. The UoD contestants were awarded by the President of AUIB.

It is important to mention that last year the same team participated in the aforementioned competition and became a runner up and were able to participate in the Middle East VIS MOOT conducted online due to COVID 19 in Bahrain. The UoD team participated as judges to evaluate and take decisions about the contestants.
