Judicial Assistance Corps Positions in Catalonia 2026: Destinations for Candidates Approved in the 2022 Call

Key data

Candidates approved in the 2022 open access call for the Judicial Assistance Corps now have the available positions in Catalonia published. The Resolution of 25 March 2026 of the Department of Justice and Democratic Quality publishes the list of destinations in that territory, a key administrative step in the final phase of the process of joining the judicial public service.

This resolution is not a minor formality: it defines exactly where the new civil servants will be able to work within Catalonia. Knowing the available positions is the prerequisite for participating in the definitive assignment of destinations.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution publishes the list of positions within the territorial scope of Catalonia intended for candidates who passed the open access selection process for the Judicial Assistance Corps of the Administration of Justice, called by Orden JUS/1288/2022, of 22 December.

The selection process referred to in this resolution is that of entry through the general open access system, meaning that the published positions correspond to those who accessed through open competition, not through internal promotion or reserved quotas.

The Judicial Assistance Corps performs the following functions in courts and tribunals:

• Notifications to procedural parties
• Summons to witnesses, experts and other participants
• Collaboration in procedural acts
• General support for the activity of courts and tribunals

The publication of these positions allows approved candidates to know the specific destination options in Catalonia before the definitive assignment. It is therefore an administrative step that opens the decision window for candidates: they must analyse the available positions and prepare their order of preference.

Economic and operational impact

This resolution has no direct economic impact on companies. Its relevance is operational and personal for the approved candidates and, indirectly, for the judicial bodies in Catalonia that will receive new staff.

From the perspective of approved candidates, the impact is immediate:

• Destination decision: The publication of positions activates the selection process. Approved candidates must analyse the available destinations in Catalonia to prepare their preference before the definitive assignment.
• Personal and professional planning: Knowing the destination allows approved candidates to plan relocations, housing searches and management of their current employment situation.
• Joining the public service: The definitive assignment of positions is the last step before taking up post as civil servants of the Judicial Assistance Corps.

For courts and tribunals in Catalonia, the incorporation of new judicial assistants means reinforcement of staff in notification, summons and support tasks for procedural acts.

Who is affected?

• Approved candidates in the open access selection process for the Judicial Assistance Corps, 2022 call (Orden JUS/1288/2022), with destination within the territorial scope of Catalonia.
• Courts and tribunals in Catalonia that will receive new civil servants from the Judicial Assistance Corps.
• Department of Justice and Democratic Quality of the Generalitat de Catalunya, as the managing body of the process in that territory.

This resolution does not affect candidates from other autonomous communities, civil servants already active in the Judicial Assistance Corps, or private companies.

Practical example

A candidate approved in the 2022 open access call (Orden JUS/1288/2022) who indicated a preference for destinations in Catalonia must, following the publication of this resolution:

1. Consult the list of positions published in the BOE (BOE-A-2026-7230) to identify the available destinations in Catalonia.
2. Analyse which courts or tribunals have vacant positions and in which localities.
3. Prepare their order of preference for destinations before the definitive assignment period opens.
4. Manage their current employment situation and plan their incorporation as a civil servant of the Judicial Assistance Corps.

If the candidate does not consult this publication and does not participate in the assignment process within the established deadline, they could lose the possibility of choosing a preferred destination and be assigned to a position by default.

What should approved candidates do now?

1. Consult the BOE immediately: Access the Resolution of 25 March 2026 (BOE-A-2026-7230) to review the complete list of available positions in Catalonia.
2. Identify destinations of interest: Analyse which courts and tribunals have vacant positions, in which localities and under what conditions, in order to prepare a well-founded order of preference.
3. Monitor the assignment deadline: This publication is the step prior to the definitive assignment. Candidates must stay alert to the announcement of the position selection act so as not to miss their turn to choose.
4. Plan the incorporation: Once the available destinations are known, manage the current employment situation in advance, along with any potential relocations and formalities for taking up post as a civil servant.
5. Contact the managing body if in doubt: The Department of Justice and Democratic Quality of the Generalitat de Catalunya is the body responsible for this process within the Catalan territorial scope.
