The candidates who passed the extraordinary selective process of the Judicial Assistance Corps of the Administration of Justice in Madrid now have an assigned date and destination. The Resolution of July 31, 2026, published in the BOE on August 24, 2026, formalizes the assignment of positions resulting from the extraordinary call launched by the Order JUS/1327/2022, of December 28. The clock is ticking: taking office must occur before the deadline of 20 business days counted from September 1, 2026 expires.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution regulates four key operational aspects for new officials of the Judicial Assistance Corps in Madrid:
| Aspect | Specific detail |
|---|---|
| Assignment of positions | The General Directorate of Human Resources assigns a position to each official who passed the extraordinary selective process called by Order JUS/1327/2022 |
| Taking office | Must be done before the General Directorate within a period of 20 business days from September 1, 2026 |
| Option for Case Management or Procedural Processing officials | Those who already belong to the Case Management or Procedural Processing corps may choose to continue in their original corps, remaining in a situation of voluntary leave from the Judicial Assistance Corps |
| Transfer restriction | Those assigned will not be able to participate in transfer competitions during the 2 years following the date of this resolution |
| Cessation of interim officials | Interim officials occupying the assigned positions will automatically cease on the day the permanent official takes office at their assigned position |
The extraordinary selective process referred to in this resolution was called by the Order JUS/1327/2022, of December 28, within the framework of public employment stabilization processes promoted by Law 20/2021. The assignment of positions is the final step that transforms the approved candidate into a career official with a specific position.
Economic and operational impact
For new officials, the most immediate impact is operational and labor-related:
- Mandatory incorporation within deadline: Failure to appear to take office within the 20 business days may have consequences on acquiring the status of career official. The deadline is non-extendable except for justified cause recognized by applicable regulations.
- Mobility freeze for 2 years: New officials will not be able to compete for other positions until 2 years have elapsed since the resolution. This limits the ability to change geographic or functional assignment until at least summer 2028.
- Decision on original corps: Officials who already belong to Case Management or Procedural Processing must assess whether it is convenient to maintain their original corps (remaining in voluntary leave from Judicial Assistance) or fully integrate into the new corps. This decision has implications for compensation, career development and acquired rights.
- Immediate cessation of interim officials: The assigned positions are currently filled by interim officials. Their employment relationship with the Administration ceases on the same day the permanent official takes office, without additional notice.
Who does it affect?
- Approved candidates in the extraordinary selective process of the Judicial Assistance Corps called by Order JUS/1327/2022, with assigned position in Madrid.
- Officials of the Case Management and Procedural Processing corps who have also passed this selective process and must decide which corps to continue in.
- Interim officials currently occupying the positions assigned to the new permanent officials: their cessation is automatic and immediate at the moment of taking office.
- Judicial bodies and courts in Madrid that will receive the new officials and must manage the replacement of interim staff.
- Human Resources departments of the Department of Presidency, Justice and Local Administration of Madrid, responsible for coordinating the taking office process.
Practical example
A candidate who passed the extraordinary selective process of Order JUS/1327/2022 receives notification of their assigned position in a Madrid court. The resolution enters into force on September 1, 2026, so the deadline of 20 business days expires approximately on September 29, 2026 (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and official holidays in Madrid).
If this official previously belonged to the Procedural Processing Corps, they now have to make a decision: they can choose to continue in Procedural Processing (their original corps) and remain in a situation of voluntary leave from Judicial Assistance, or fully integrate into the Judicial Assistance Corps and renounce their position in Procedural Processing.
In any case, once taking office in Judicial Assistance, they will not be able to request a transfer until at least September 2028, which should be taken into account if the assigned position involves significant geographic displacement.
The interim official who until that time filled the position will cease on the same day the new permanent official takes office, without any additional procedure required from the interim official beyond handing over the position.
What should those affected do now?
- Verify the assigned position in the resolution published in the BOE (BOE-A-2026-18074) and in the official notification from the General Directorate of Human Resources of Madrid.
- Calculate the taking office deadline: count 20 business days from September 1, 2026, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays in the Community of Madrid. The approximate deadline is September 29, 2026.
- Present yourself before the General Directorate of Human Resources and Relations with the Administration of Justice to formalize taking office within the established deadline.
- Decide on the original corps (only for those belonging to Case Management or Procedural Processing): assess with an advisor whether it is convenient to continue in the original corps in voluntary leave or fully integrate into Judicial Assistance.
- Plan long-term mobility: keep in mind that you will not be able to participate in transfer competitions until 2 years have elapsed since the resolution (that is, not before summer 2028).
- Interim officials affected: prepare to hand over the position and manage the employment situation, as cessation is automatic on the day the permanent official takes office, without additional notice.
Frequently asked questions
What is the exact deadline to take office as a Judicial Assistance official in Madrid?
The deadline is 20 business days counted from September 1, 2026. Excluding Saturdays, Sundays and official holidays in Madrid, the approximate deadline is September 29, 2026. Taking office must be done before the General Directorate of Human Resources and Relations with the Administration of Justice of the Department of Presidency of Madrid.
Can I request a transfer after taking office at my new Judicial Assistance position?
Not immediately. The resolution establishes that assigned officials will not be able to participate in transfer competitions during the 2 years following the date of the resolution (July 31, 2026). This means that, at minimum, they will not be able to request a transfer until August 2028.
I am a Procedural Processing official and I also passed Judicial Assistance. What options do I have?
You have two options: (1) continue in your original corps (Procedural Processing or Case Management) and remain in a situation of voluntary leave from the Judicial Assistance Corps, or (2) fully integrate into Judicial Assistance. The decision has implications for compensation and career development, so it is recommended to assess it with an advisor before formalizing taking office.
What happens to the interim official occupying my assigned position?
The interim official filling the assigned position will automatically cease on the same day the permanent official takes office. No additional procedure or specific notice is required: cessation operates by operation of law at the moment the new career official takes office.
What call does this assignment of Judicial Assistance positions correspond to?
This resolution assigns positions to officials who passed the extraordinary selective process for access by competitive examination, free competition, called by the Order JUS/1327/2022, of December 28. This is a process framed within public employment stabilization in the Administration of Justice.
