Early career
Mahmoud was born and grew up in Baghdad before attending the College of Law at Al-Mustansiriya University, which he graduated from on 1 July 1971. Humairi worked as a lawyer for several years before being accepted into the Judicial Institute. Following his graduation, he was appointed as a Judge by Presidential Decree.[1]
Post-invasion career
Following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Humairi played a role in developing the idea of a mortgage in Iraq's new Civil Code.[1]
He was appointed as the new Head of the Supreme Judicial Council in February 2013, due to a new law forbidding the head of the Federal Supreme Court from also Heading the Supreme Judicial Council. The exact mechanism used for appointing Humairi is unclear.[2] He was later sworn into this role on 2 May 2013.[1]
