Appointments Court Management Body 2026: who enters and how the ranking works

Key data

Those who passed the extraordinary opposition for the Court Management and Administrative Body of the Administration of Justice—called by the Order JUS/1327/2022, of 28 December—obtain their formal appointment as career civil servants through Order PJC/882/2026, published in the BOE on 24 August 2026. The regulation closes the extraordinary selection process by organizing appointments by territorial areas, regulating integration into the ranking, and establishing appeal mechanisms for those excluded.

What does this regulation establish?

Order PJC/882/2026 regulates the following aspects of the appointment:

• Formal appointment: Those who passed the extraordinary selection process of the 2022 call are declared career civil servants of the Court Management and Administrative Body of the Administration of Justice.
• Territorial organization: Appointments are organized by territorial areas, including both general competition and disability reserve.
• Integration into the ranking: The order in the ranking is determined by the combined score of the opposition phase and the competitive phase.
• Sub-rankings in communities with co-official languages: In autonomous communities with co-official languages, specific sub-rankings are created that include the scores obtained in the tests of the regional language and, in the case of the Basque Country, also those of Basque Civil Law.
• General ranking pending: The complete general ranking will be published once all appointees in all territorial areas have proven they have taken office.
• Excluded: Persons who did not meet the required requirements are listed in Annex II of the order.

Economic and operational impact

For new civil servants, the appointment immediately activates access to the remuneration, rights, and obligations of the Court Management and Administrative Body of the Administration of Justice. From an operational perspective, the most relevant effects are:

• Remuneration rights: Formal appointment as a career civil servant activates the right to receive the body's remuneration from the date of taking office in the assigned position.
• Position in the ranking: The final position in the ranking—which determines preferences in future transfer competitions—depends on the combined score of opposition and competition. In communities with co-official languages, the score in regional language tests and Basque Civil Law also influences the specific sub-ranking.
• General ranking pending: Until all appointees in all areas have proven they have taken office, the complete general ranking will not be published. This may affect the planning of future transfer competitions.
• Excluded with Annex II: Candidates listed in Annex II for failure to meet requirements do not obtain the appointment and should consider whether to file an appeal within the established deadlines.

Who does it affect?

• Candidates who passed the extraordinary selection process for the Court Management and Administrative Body of the Administration of Justice (call Order JUS/1327/2022).
• Excluded candidates listed in Annex II for failure to meet requirements who may file an appeal.
• Bodies of the Administration of Justice that incorporate the new civil servants into their staffing.
• Labor advisors and human resources managers in the field of the Administration of Justice who must process taking office and update internal rankings.
• Candidates in communities with co-official languages (especially the Basque Country), whose position in the specific sub-ranking incorporates scores for regional language and Basque Civil Law.

Practical example

A candidate who passed the extraordinary selection process in the territorial area of Catalonia—a community with a co-official language—obtains their appointment as a career civil servant of the Court Management and Administrative Body through this order. Their position in the general ranking is determined by the combined score of the opposition phase and the competitive phase. Additionally, in the specific sub-ranking of Catalonia, their score in the Catalan language test is also taken into account, which may improve or worsen their relative position compared to other colleagues in the same area. Until all appointees in all areas—not just Catalonia—have proven they have taken office, the final general ranking will not be published, so this candidate will have to wait for that publication to know their exact position for the purposes of future transfer competitions.

If this same candidate appeared in Annex II for failure to meet some requirement, they would have 1 month to file a reconsideration appeal or 2 months to pursue administrative litigation before the National Court, both deadlines counted from 24 August 2026.

What should those affected do now?

1. Verify if you appear in the appointment or in Annex II: Check Order PJC/882/2026 in the BOE to confirm whether your name appears among those appointed or in Annex II of excluded candidates.
2. Process taking office in the assigned position: The appointment only activates remuneration rights from the date of effective taking office. Manage this procedure with the corresponding body in your territorial area as soon as possible.
3. Review your provisional position in the ranking: Check that the combined score (opposition + competition) shown in the provisional ranking is correct. In communities with co-official languages, also verify the score in the specific sub-ranking.
4. If you appear in Annex II, act before 24 September 2026: The deadline for filing a reconsideration appeal is 1 month from publication (24 August 2026). For administrative litigation before the National Court, the deadline is 2 months (until 24 October 2026).
5. Wait for the publication of the final general ranking: This will be published once all appointees in all territorial areas have proven they have taken office. It is the document that will determine your position for the purposes of future transfer competitions.
