Judicial Offices Madrid 2026 Competition: Key Information for Civil Servants

Key data

Civil servants from the bodies serving the Administration of Justice in Madrid have a new opportunity for internal mobility. The Resolution of 23 March 2026, published in the Official Gazette on 13 April 2026 with reference BOE-A-2026-8152, announces a specific competition to fill vacant positions in Judicial Offices in the territory managed by the Community of Madrid.

The process is not a competitive examination: it is resolved through assessment of specific merits linked to the position. This means that accumulated experience and relevant training are the determining factors for the allocation of the position.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution regulates a specific competition for the provision of positions in Judicial Offices of the Community of Madrid. The key elements of the process are as follows:

• Type of process: Specific competition, not open competitive examination. Selection is based on the assessment of merits accredited by each candidate.
• Merits assessed: Experience and relevant training directly related to the functions of the position applied for.
• Positions offered: Vacancies distributed among different judicial bodies in the territory managed by the Community of Madrid.
• Assignment: Selected civil servants will be assigned to the allocated positions with the remuneration and functional conditions specific to each post.
• Purpose: To fill personnel needs in Judicial Offices and facilitate internal mobility and promotion of personnel serving Justice in Madrid.

The competition is directed exclusively at civil servants who already belong to the bodies serving the Administration of Justice. It is not an external access process.

Economic and operational impact

For participating civil servants, the most direct impact is the possibility of changing position and improving their working conditions without needing to pass a new competitive examination. The allocation of a different position may result in changes to:

• The remuneration conditions, which vary according to the level and specific characteristics of each allocated position.
• The geographical location of the position within the territory of the Community of Madrid.
• The functions and responsibilities associated with the new position, which may differ from the previous assignment.

From the perspective of managing Judicial Offices, the competition allows filling structural vacancies with already trained personnel with experience in the Administration of Justice, which reduces the time needed to adapt to the position.

The resolution does not specify the total number of positions announced or the specific remuneration amounts for each position. To learn the details of each vacancy and its economic conditions, it is necessary to consult the full text published in the Official Gazette (BOE-A-2026-8152).

Who does it affect?

This competition exclusively affects career civil servants belonging to the following bodies serving the Administration of Justice in the Community of Madrid:

• Body of Procedural and Administrative Management: Civil servants who perform functions supporting judicial activity with a higher level of technical responsibility.
• Body of Procedural and Administrative Processing: Civil servants responsible for processing judicial proceedings.
• Body of Judicial Assistance: Civil servants who provide material and logistical support to judicial bodies.

It does not affect temporary staff, interim personnel or civil servants from other bodies of the General State Administration or regional administration who do not belong to the bodies of the Administration of Justice.

Practical example

A civil servant from the Body of Procedural and Administrative Processing currently assigned to a court of first instance in Madrid capital wants to move closer to their home or access a position with a higher remuneration level in another judicial body of the Community of Madrid.

Thanks to this specific competition, they can apply for vacant positions that match their body and category. The resolution of their application does not depend on a new competitive examination, but on the assessment of the merits they accredit: years of experience in similar positions, specific training in procedural management, courses completed and other merits provided for in the competition rules.

If selected, they will be assigned to the new position with the remuneration and functional conditions specific to that post, which may be different—higher or lower—than those of their current assignment, depending on the level of the allocated position.
