New Assignments for Procedural Management Officials in Madrid: Keys for the Administration of Justice 2026

Key data

The judicial bodies of the Community of Madrid receive personnel reinforcement with the permanent assignment of positions to officials who passed the selection process called by the Order PJC/104/2024, of January 31. The Resolution of July 31, 2026 closes the selection process cycle and opens that of effective incorporation to the position.

The process included two access routes: competitive examination in the free competition category and internal promotion, which means profiles with different prior experience within the Administration of Justice. Both groups now receive their permanent assignment to specific positions in the community.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution grants permanent assignment to civil service personnel of the Procedural and Administrative Management Body of the Administration of Justice who passed the selection process called by Order PJC/104/2024. The key elements are:

• Permanent assignments to specific judicial bodies in the Community of Madrid: each official is assigned to a specific position in a determined court or tribunal.
• Two access modalities covered: competitive examination (free competition) and internal promotion. Officials accessing through internal promotion already belonged to the Administration of Justice in a lower body and are promoted in category.
• Prior step to taking office: the assignment resolution is the administrative act that enables formal incorporation to the position. Without this act, the official cannot take office or begin exercising their functions in the new position.
• Formalization of effective incorporation: from the date of publication, the deadlines for taking office are activated in accordance with general civil service regulations.

The Procedural and Administrative Management Body is the second tier within the bodies serving the Administration of Justice, above the Procedural Processing Body and below the Body of Lawyers of the Administration of Justice. Its functions include the management of judicial procedures, citizen assistance and coordination of procedural steps in judicial bodies.

Economic and operational impact

Although this resolution does not establish direct economic figures, its operational impact on the Madrid Administration of Justice is immediate and concrete:

• Reduction of structural vacancies: the assignment of positions covers positions that may have been occupied by temporary staff or in temporary reinforcement situations, reducing precariousness in the staffing of judicial bodies.
• Human resources planning: those responsible for receiving judicial bodies must prepare for reception, assignment of functions and initial training of new officials.
• Impact on workload: the incorporation of new management personnel allows redistribution of procedural load and improvement of processing times in benefited courts.
• Salary cost for the Community of Madrid: each new Procedural Management official represents a recurring salary cost for the competent Department, which is activated from the moment of taking office.

For officials accessing through internal promotion, the economic impact is also direct: they begin to receive remuneration corresponding to the Procedural Management Body, higher than that of their body of origin.

Who does it affect?

• Officials approved in the PJC/104/2024 selection process (both free competition and internal promotion): receive their permanent assignment and must prepare for taking office.
• Judicial bodies of the Community of Madrid receiving new incorporations: must manage reception and integration of new personnel.
• HR managers of the Department of Presidency, Public Administrations, Justice and Security: must coordinate taking office processes and update organizational staffing.
• Temporary or commissioned personnel currently occupying assigned positions: may be affected by termination of their provisional situation.
• Citizens and legal professionals operating before Madrid courts: indirectly benefit from better personnel staffing in judicial bodies.

Practical example

An official who passed the selection process called by Order PJC/104/2024 in the free access by competitive examination modality receives, through this resolution, their permanent assignment to a specific court in Madrid. From the date of publication of the resolution in the BOE (August 10, 2026), the regulatory deadlines for taking office are activated.

The receiving judicial body, for its part, must notify the official of the date and conditions of incorporation, prepare the work position and, if the position was occupied by temporary staff, initiate the procedure for terminating that temporary employee. This entire process must be completed within the deadlines established by general civil service regulations, without the assignment resolution establishing additional specific deadlines.

In the case of an official accessing through internal promotion, the process is similar, but also implies resolution of their situation in the body of origin: they must be discharged from their previous position and registered in the new one, with the corresponding change in remuneration from the day of taking office.

What should organizations do now?

1. Identify assigned positions in each judicial body: HR managers must consult the complete resolution in the BOE to know which positions in their body have been filled and with what profile (free competition or internal promotion).
2. Prepare the taking office process: coordinate with new officials the date of incorporation, necessary documentation and prior administrative procedures.
3. Manage termination of temporary staff: if assigned positions were occupied by temporary employees, initiate termination procedures in accordance with applicable regulations, respecting legal deadlines.
4. Update organizational staffing: reflect new assignments in the personnel management systems of the Department and each receiving judicial body.
5. Plan reception and initial training: especially for new entry officials (free competition), design an incorporation plan that ensures their operability from day one.
6. Verify impact on procedural load: take advantage of new incorporations to redistribute files and reduce processing times in the most saturated courts.
