Abstract
Defining the meaning of conflict of interests is a crucial matter that requires a precise clarification of its various aspects and legal rulings. Many legal scholars have addressed the concept of interests and the situations arising from their conflicts, in addition to numerous applications provided by the legislator, which reflect clear meanings of the concept of conflict of interests. Every individual has the right to defend their rights whenever they have a legitimate interest they wish to protect. However, this right may sometimes conflict with the legitimate rights of others who seek to safeguard their own interests, leading to a situation of conflict of interests. In such cases, the court must examine the details of the conflict and determine which of the conflicting interests should prevail according to the law. In order to achieve the goal of our research, we divided it into two sections. The first section was devoted to defining conflict of interest, while the second section was devoted to the reasons for the emergence of conflict of interest cases. After that, we reached a conclusion of results and recommendations.
