Passed Judicial Administration Lawyers Exam 2025: 94 positions and 20-day deadline

Key data

The selective process called in March 2025 reaches its first final resolution: 94 people have passed the exam phase to access the Judicial Administration Lawyers Corps (LAJ), according to Order PJC/673/2026, published in the BOE on July 4, 2026. Now the countdown begins: the deadline for submitting documentation is 20 business days and does not allow for delay.

The Judicial Administration Lawyers Corps is the senior legal body of the Judicial Administration in Spain, responsible for judicial public faith and the technical-procedural direction of judicial offices. Accessing it by open competition is one of the most demanding selective processes in the public legal field.

What does this regulation establish?

Order PJC/673/2026 makes public the list of 94 people who have passed the exam phase of the selective process by general system of open access to the Judicial Administration Lawyers Corps, originally called by Order PJC/307/2025, of March 26, 2025.

The order regulates the immediate steps that approved candidates must follow to complete the process and be appointed civil servants in training. The key points are:

• Documentation submission deadline: 20 business days counted from publication in the BOE (July 4, 2026).
• Form of submission: exclusively electronic.
• Required documentation: Law degree, medical certificate proving absence of illness or physical defect that prevents performance of duties, and —where applicable— documentation relating to disability.
• Effect of proving requirements: appointment as civil servant in training to complete the theoretical-practical selective course at the Center for Legal Studies.
• Available remedies: optional appeal for reconsideration within one month, or administrative litigation appeal within two months, both from publication of the order.

Economic and operational impact

For the 94 approved candidates, the immediate impact is operational and career-related: appointment as civil servant in training opens access to one of the best-paid legal bodies in the Spanish Judicial Administration, with compensation that includes base salary, specific allowance and seniority bonuses typical of group A1.

From a process management perspective, there are two operational risks that approved candidates should be aware of:

• Failure to meet the documentation deadline: Not submitting documentation within the 20 business days may result in loss of the right to appointment, with no generic exceptions contemplated in the regulation.
• Incomplete or incorrect documentation: Proof of Law degree, medical certificate and, where applicable, disability documentation must be in order. A formal error may delay or block the appointment.
• Selective course at the Center for Legal Studies: Once appointed as civil servants in training, approved candidates must complete the theoretical-practical course. This training period is another phase of the selective process and its completion is a condition for definitive appointment.

Who does it affect?

• The 94 people approved in the exam phase of the selective process by open competition for the Judicial Administration Lawyers Corps, called by Order PJC/307/2025.
• Candidates not included in the list who believe there is an error in their exclusion and wish to file an appeal (deadline: 1 month for reconsideration, 2 months for administrative litigation).
• Law firms and legal advisory services that have employees or collaborators who participated in this process and need to manage possible resignations or changes in employment status.
• Judicial bodies and judicial offices that will receive new Judicial Administration Lawyers after completing the selective course at the Center for Legal Studies.

Practical example

A person approved in the exam phase receives notification of their inclusion in the list published on July 4, 2026. From that day, they have 20 business days to act. Given that July and August include non-business days in many administrations, it is advisable to calculate the deadline precisely and not wait until the last moment.

The documents they must gather and submit electronically are:

• Law degree (Bachelor's or Graduate) or receipt of application if not yet issued.
• Official medical certificate proving absence of illness or physical defect that prevents performance of the body's duties.
• If accessed through the disability quota: documentation proving disability and compatibility with job performance.

Once the documentation is verified by the Administration, they will be appointed civil servant in training and called to complete the theoretical-practical selective course at the Center for Legal Studies. Completion of that course is the final step before definitive appointment as Judicial Administration Lawyer.

What should the approved candidates do now?

1. Verify your inclusion in the official list: Check the Order PJC/673/2026 in the BOE to confirm that your name appears in the list of approved candidates.
2. Calculate the exact deadline: The 20 business days begin on July 4, 2026. Take into account national and regional holidays to avoid missing the deadline.
3. Gather the required documentation in advance: Law degree, medical certificate and, if applicable, disability documentation. Don't wait until the last day: medical certificates and degree applications can take several days.
4. Submit documentation exclusively electronically: The order does not allow for in-person submission. Make sure you have active and operational digital certificate or cl@ve.
5. If you are not on the list and believe there is an error: File an optional appeal for reconsideration within 1 month from July 4, 2026, or an administrative litigation appeal within 2 months.
6. Prepare for the selective course at the Center for Legal Studies: Once appointed as civil servant in training, you must complete the theoretical-practical course. Find out about dates and content in advance.
