Rizgar Mohammed Amin (born 1958) was the chief judge in the Iraqi Special Tribunal's Al-Dujail trial. Amin was the only judge whose identity was revealed on the trial's opening on 19 October 2005, the names and faces of his four colleagues remaining secret.
Amin graduated from the Law School of Baghdad University in 1980. He is an ethnic Kurd, though he has no record of political activism, or connections to the Peshmerga. He was a regional judge under Saddam Hussein's presidency. Amin lives in Sulaymaniyah with his wife Nazanin Ahmed (born 1962) and four children, born between 1990 and 2001.
Because he had refused to join the Ba'ath party, he was only admitted to the college of judges in 1990, after working in a subordinate position for ten years. Amin was appointed chief judge of the regional court by Jalal Talabani in the mid 1990s.
He tendered his resignation on 14 January 2006, citing public concerns about his perceived softness in dealing with Saddam Hussein. It is unclear if his colleagues have accepted his resignation yet.
