More Than 2,300 Justice Posts at Stake as Spain Holds Nationwide Court Staff Exams on a Single Day
Spain's Ministry of Justice held the nationwide competitive examinations for the general corps of the Justice Administration simultaneously on October 3, with 2,305 open-entry posts at stake: 1,155 in Procedural Processing, 725 in Procedural Management and 425 in Judicial Assistance. It is one of the largest recruitment rounds in the justice system in recent years.
The call was issued by Order PJC/1549/2025 under the 2025 public employment offer and published in the Official State Gazette on December 30, 2025. The exam date was set for October 3 by Order PJC/585/2026, and the final lists of admitted candidates were approved by Order PJC/937/2026 on September 7. All candidates sat the exams at a single call: 09:00 in mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands, and 08:00 in the Canary Islands.
Entry requirements differ by corps: Judicial Assistance requires compulsory secondary education, Procedural Processing a high-school or technical qualification, and Procedural Management a university degree. Candidates could only sit one of the three exams, as all were held on the same day and at the same time.
The examining boards will now publish answer keys and the next steps for each corps. Separately, the 2026 public employment offer approved a further 2,003 posts across the three corps, to be called in a future round.
