Abstract
The study aims to explain a new type of justice in the framework of the attributional approach, which combines the logic of the attribution and the logic of the material preference of the legislator while making a balance between this type and the traditional type — disputed justice that is achieved when applying the national attributive rule of a mechanical nature with rigid and neutral application. Until the use of the concept of objective justice as a corrective means of Iraqi national dispute rules by considering it as an attributive goal, the basis of attributive justice aims not only to reach out to a framework of engaging the legal relationship with a legal system, but also to search for the best result that can be applied to resolve the dispute. Accordingly, this study aims to establish the necessary reform rules from which the legislator will start in the field of Iraqi attributive rules. Therefore, we recommend the Iraqi legislator include the rule of the harmful act as evaluation means, which is one of the most trusted laws, by making several amendments including Art. 19, 22, and 27 of the Civil Code to avoid any legal issues during the trials in the Iraqi courts.
