Procedural Processing Positions Justice Valencia 2026

Key data

Candidates who passed the tests of the selective process convened by Order JUS/1288/2022, of December 22, and have been assigned to the Valencian Community, now have access to the official list of positions where they can take office. The Resolution of April 8, 2026 from the General Directorate of Justice and Self-Government is the necessary prior step for each approved candidate to choose their definitive destination in Valencian courts and tribunals.

This publication is not a minor formality: it marks the beginning of the destination allocation process and, therefore, the moment when new officials will know exactly where they will work and when they must take office.

What does this regulation establish?

The General Directorate of Justice and Self-Government, under the Ministry of Justice, Transparency and Participation of the Valencian Community, publishes through this resolution the list of positions offered in the Valencian territorial scope for approved candidates in the selective process for free admission to the Body of Procedural and Administrative Processing of the Administration of Justice.

The selective process was originally convened by Order JUS/1288/2022, of December 22. After passing the tests, this type of resolution is the official mechanism through which each autonomous community with transferred competencies in justice matters publishes the available positions in its territory.

The key elements established by this resolution are:

• Publication of the official list of available positions in the Valencian Community for the Body of Procedural and Administrative Processing.
• The positions are located in courts and tribunals of the Valencian territory.
• Destination allocation is carried out by score ranking obtained in the selective process: higher score means higher priority of choice.
• This publication is the prior step to the effective taking of office of new officials.

Economic and operational impact

Although this resolution does not imply a direct cost for private companies, it has relevant operational impact on the Administration of Justice of the Valencian Community and on the affected candidates themselves:

• For approved candidates: The publication of positions activates the destination selection process. Those who do not act within the established deadline may lose the option to choose among the most convenient positions, being assigned to the remaining ones.
• For the Valencian Administration of Justice: The incorporation of new officials of the Body of Procedural and Administrative Processing strengthens the staff of courts and tribunals, with direct impact on the capacity to process files and judicial proceedings.
• For companies and citizens with proceedings in Valencian courts: The staff reinforcement may result in improved processing times in the judicial bodies of the Valencian Community.

Who does it affect?

This resolution directly affects the following groups:

• Approved candidates in process JUS/1288/2022 with assigned destination in the Valencian Community, who are pending choosing a position and obtaining their definitive destination.
• Courts and tribunals of the Valencian Community, which will receive new officials of the Body of Procedural and Administrative Processing to strengthen their staff.
• Ministry of Justice, Transparency and Participation of the Valencian Generalitat, responsible for managing the position allocation process in its territory.
• Companies and individuals with active judicial proceedings in Valencian courts, who may be indirectly benefited by the staff reinforcement in the processing of their files.

Practical example

A candidate who passed the tests of the selective process JUS/1288/2022 and obtained a score that places them at position 45 in the list of approved candidates assigned to the Valencian Community can now consult the official list of positions published by the General Directorate of Justice and Self-Government.

With that position, they will have priority of choice over all approved candidates with lower scores. They may opt for the available positions in Valencian courts and tribunals that are most convenient by proximity to their residence, specialization of the judicial body, or any other personal criteria, as long as those positions have not already been chosen by candidates with higher scores.

If they do not participate in the destination selection process within the established deadline, they will lose the ability to choose and will be assigned a position ex officio from those remaining available.

What should candidates do now?

1. Consult the official list of positions published in the Official Gazette through the Resolution of April 8, 2026, available at this official link, to know exactly what positions are available in the Valencian Community.
2. Identify your own position in the list of approved candidates assigned to the Valencian Community, to know what positions will be available at the time of selection.
3. Prepare an order of preference for positions before the selection process, considering geographic location, type of judicial body, and other relevant factors.
4. Stay alert to official communications from the General Directorate of Justice and Self-Government and the Ministry of Justice regarding the calendar and procedure for destination selection.
5. Participate in the destination selection process within the established deadline to avoid losing the ability to choose and prevent ex officio assignment to a residual position.
