The final list of approved candidates in the extraordinary selective process to the Judicial Case Management and Administrative Body is expanded with the publication of Order PJC/796/2026, in force since July 31, 2026. This order modifies Order PJC/93/2025, of January 24, which already published an initial list of approved candidates derived from the original call of December 2022 (Order JUS/1327/2022).
If your name appears in the annex of this new order, the next step is immediate: request assignment within the deadlines established by the Ministry of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Courts and the Autonomous Communities with transferred competencies. Failing to act in time could mean losing your position.
What does this regulation establish?
Order PJC/796/2026 is a specific modification of the list of approved candidates already published in January 2025. Its function is to incorporate new candidates who, due to different circumstances in the process (resolution of appeals, review of merits or other incidents), did not appear in the initial list but have passed the selective process.
The key elements regulated by this order are:
- Incorporation of new approved candidates distributed by territorial scope: Andalusia, Aragon, Asturias, Canary Islands, Catalonia and other territories with competencies in Justice matters.
- Two access modalities: general category and quota for persons with disabilities.
- Position limit by territory: the total number of positions awarded in each scope cannot exceed the quota originally called for in Order JUS/1327/2022.
- Appointment procedure: all information about the process of appointment as a career civil servant will be published on the Ministry's website.
- Remedies available: those affected who disagree with the resolution have the right to file a reconsideration request within one month or administrative litigation within two months.
The regulation being modified, Order PJC/93/2025, was the first publication of approved candidates from this extraordinary selective process. The July 2026 order does not repeal it: it complements it by adding new approved candidates to the existing annex.
Economic and operational impact
For candidates included in the annex, the impact is direct and with concrete economic consequences:
- Access to a career civil servant position in the Judicial Case Management and Administrative Body, with the salary stability and job security that this entails.
- Choice of assignment conditioned to the available quota in each territory. Territories with a higher number of called positions (such as Andalusia or Catalonia) offer more assignment options.
- Risk of losing the position if you do not submit the assignment request within the deadline set by the Ministry or the competent Autonomous Community. This deadline is not set in the order itself: it will be published on the Ministry's website.
- Possibility of appeal: those who believe they should appear in the annex and do not have one month to file a reconsideration request or two months to pursue administrative litigation.
For administrations and law firms working with the Administration of Justice, this expansion of the case management staff may imply an improvement in the processing times of judicial files in the affected territories.
Who does it affect?
- Approved candidates who appear in the annex of Order PJC/796/2026, in both the general category and disability reserve quota.
- Candidates who do not appear in the annex and believe they should be included: they have deadlines to appeal.
- Examination advisory firms and consultants who accompany candidates in the appointment process and assignment selection.
- Autonomous Communities with transferred competencies in Justice: Andalusia, Aragon, Asturias, Canary Islands, Catalonia and others, which must manage the assignment request procedure in their respective scopes.
- Ministry of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Courts: responsible for publishing the appointment procedure as a career civil servant.
Practical example
A candidate who participated in the extraordinary selective process called by Order JUS/1327/2022 and who did not appear in the list of approved candidates published in January 2025 (Order PJC/93/2025) now receives notification that their name appears in the annex of Order PJC/796/2026 for the territorial scope of the Canary Islands, in the general category.
Their immediate roadmap is:
- Verify that your data appears correctly in the annex published in the BOE of July 31, 2026.
- Check the Ministry's website to find out the deadline and form for requesting assignment in the Canary Islands.
- Submit the assignment request within the established deadline, indicating your preferences among the available positions in that territory.
- If the number of approved candidates in the Canary Islands exceeds the originally called quota, the award will be made in order of score in the selective process.
If this candidate does not submit the request on time, they lose their right to the position, even though they appear on the approved list.
What should approved candidates do now?
- Check the annex of Order PJC/796/2026: access the BOE of July 31, 2026 and verify that your name, ID number and territorial scope are correct.
- Check the Ministry's website: the appointment procedure as a career civil servant and the assignment request deadlines will be published on the official website of the Ministry of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Courts.
- Submit the assignment request on time: once the deadlines are published, do not miss the deadline. Failure to submit is equivalent to renouncing the position.
- Review the quotas by territory: the number of positions awarded cannot exceed the total called for by territorial scope. Knowing how many positions are available in your territory will help you assess your assignment options.
- File an appeal if applicable: if you believe you should appear in the annex and do not, you have one month to file a reconsideration request or two months to file administrative litigation from the publication of the order (July 31, 2026).
Frequently asked questions
Where can I check if my name is on the approved candidates list of Order PJC/796/2026?
The annex with the list of new approved candidates is published in the BOE of July 31, 2026. Approved candidates are distributed by territorial scope (Andalusia, Aragon, Asturias, Canary Islands, Catalonia, among others) and by category (general or disability reserve).
What is the deadline to request assignment after appearing in the annex?
Order PJC/796/2026 does not set a specific deadline in its text. It indicates that the deadlines and requirements will be established by the Ministry of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Courts and the competent Autonomous Communities. You should periodically check the Ministry's website to find out the deadline in your territory.
What happens if I do not submit the assignment request within the set deadline?
Failure to submit the assignment request within the established deadline implies the loss of the right to the position, even though the candidate appears on the approved list. It is the most important operational risk arising from this order.
Can I appeal if I do not appear in the annex and believe I should be?
Yes. Order PJC/796/2026 allows filing a reconsideration request within one month from its publication (July 31, 2026) or administrative litigation within two months. Both deadlines are counted from that date.
What is the difference between this order and Order PJC/93/2025?
Order PJC/93/2025, of January 24, 2025, was the first publication of the approved candidates list from the extraordinary selective process called in December 2022. Order PJC/796/2026 modifies it by incorporating new approved candidates who did not appear in that first list, without repealing it. Both lists are valid and complementary.
