The rule of law coalition , also rule of law alliance ( Arabic إئتلاف دولة القانون I'tilāf Dawlat al-Qānūn , DMG Iʾtilāf Daulat al-Qānūn ), is an amalgamation of several political groups in Iraq under the leadership of the former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki . The coalition competed in the 2009 regional elections and the 2010 parliamentary elections.

After the tensions between the Supreme Islamic Council and the Saderists, on the one hand, and the Dawa party, on the other, the latter withdrew from the United Iraqi Alliance and formed the rule of law coalition .
