Iraqi Civil Courts

I should mention that, by all accounts, the country's civil (as opposed to criminal) courts are up and running fine -- and Iraqis are comfortable going to lawyers and filing claims for, e.g., contract claims, disputes with neighbors, divorces, etc. In the cities more so than in the country, of course, with tribal councils and unofficial sharia courts being more prevalent outside major centers.

Of course, I'm sure there are fewer inter-sectarian suits -- wrongful death claims and the like -- or at least less enforcement of resulting judgments. But in terms of a small business suing its supplier for providing shoddy product, for example, that seems to be covered.
