Formation of the 47th Promotion of the Lawyers and Lawyers Corps of the Administration of Justice
The training received at the Centre for Legal Studies by persons who are now members of the Lawyers and Lawyers Corps of the Administration of Justice has consisted of a selective course that has allowed them to complement the knowledge acquired during the opposition, while developing the skills and abilities necessary for the exercise of their professional functions.
This course has been structured in several phases. The first, of a theoretical-practical nature, was developed between 31 March and 13 June 2025 in a semi-presencetol, and focused on the fundamental aspects related to the body's own functions. Subsequently between 16 June and 14 November 2025, the participants carried out a phase of protected practices, and involved the incorporation of officials in practices into Courts and Judicial Offices.
In addition, the training was complemented by complementary activities such as: online modules in office and languages, online courses on the Integrated System of Judicial Administrative Records (SIRAJ) and on International Legal Cooperation (CJI) and the joint meeting between the members of the Free Time and Internal Promotion, on 24 and 25 November, which provided a valuable opportunity to share knowledge, experiences and professional perspectives.
