100 second-grade judicial commissioners at the Ministry of Justice

Competition for 100 second-grade judicial commissioners at the Ministry of Justice

The Ministry of Justice is organising a competition to recruit 100 second-grade judicial commissioners (scale 11), who will carry out the duties of the court registry corps. The competition will be held on Sunday, 31 January 2027, in accordance with the Minister of Justice's order No. 51/م.م.ب/26 of 13 November 2026, issued after authorisation No. 1121 from the Head of Government dated 11 November 2026.

This total is open to holders of diplomas in two specific specialties: environmental sciences and techniques and legal sciences. The distribution between the two specialties follows the table annexed to the order. The announced overall number remains 100 posts, covering all the specialties put out to competition.

Posts and required specialties

The posts put out to competition are divided between two specialties, noting that the order's table contains cells relating to the number of posts per specialty and to the written examination centres. The clearly readable elements of the table are as follows:

• Sciences and techniques in the field (environmental sciences and techniques): a specialty required for the competition.
• Legal sciences: a specialty required for the competition.

Candidates must hold the diploma or certificate in one of these two specialties or in related fields, under the conditions detailed below. No diploma or certificate that does not match the required level or specialties will be accepted.

Written examination centres

The order designates several written examination centres spread across various cities, including Tangier, Al Hoceima, Oujda, Rabat, Kenitra, Errachidia, Ouarzazate, Casablanca, Settat, Marrakech, Safi, Beni Mellal, Khouribga, Agadir, Guelmim and other cities listed in the table. Candidates must choose a single centre when registering online.

Eligibility conditions

The competition is open to candidates meeting the following conditions:

• Meeting the conditions set out in Article 21 of the general civil service statute, as amended and supplemented.
• Holding the required diploma or certificate in one of the two specialties mentioned above or in related fields, issued by the national university institutions authorised to issue it, or an equivalent certificate in accordance with the regulatory provisions in force.
• Being at least 18 and at most 45 years old on 1 January of the current year.

The diploma must clearly indicate the required specialty. No diploma or certificate that does not meet the level or specialties set by the order will be accepted.

Reserved shares

The order reserves 25% of the number of posts put out to competition for persons with the status of resistance fighter, ward of the nation, former soldier or former combatant, and 7% for persons with disabilities. These two percentages are independent of each other and neither is calculated from the other.

How to apply and required documents

Registration for the competition is made through the dedicated online application on the website of the Ministry of Justice's Human Resources Directorate, until Wednesday, 2 December 2026 at 16:30, the final registration deadline. Registration on the application is final and cannot be changed, and must cover a single centre only.

After online registration, candidates must submit their application file electronically, necessarily including the following documents:

• A copy of the original certificate or diploma in the required specialty, or one of the equivalent certificates in accordance with the provisions in force, with the specialty clearly indicated.
• A certificate issued by the competent authority attesting the status of resistance fighter, ward of the nation, former soldier or former combatant, for those concerned.
• A certificate issued by the government authority responsible for persons with disabilities, for persons with disabilities.
• A final, unconditional authorisation issued by the human resources services of the employing administration to sit the competition, for candidates who are civil servants.

Procedures for specific categories

Candidates with the status of ward of the nation, former soldier or former combatant must submit their applications under the application procedure, attaching to their files the documents proving that status, and complete the procedure later through the administrations responsible for managing their affairs.

Applications registered electronically without submission of the required application file documents in the dedicated application will be rejected. Applications accompanied by a certificate of success are accepted, it being specified that candidates admitted to the written examination must present, on the day of the oral examination, copies certified true to the original of the required diploma (not the certificate of success), as well as the other documents mentioned above.

If it later emerges that a candidate has not declared his or her status as a permanent civil servant or a contractual civil servant, the application will be rejected and the candidate removed from the competition.

Publication of lists and appeals

A preliminary list of candidates admitted to sit the written examination will be published on the Human Resources Directorate's website at least 15 days before the competition date. Candidates whose applications were registered online may challenge the absence of their names from that list within a maximum of three days from its publication, by sending a request on the matter to the Human Resources Directorate through the competition's dedicated application.

The list of candidates definitively admitted to sit the written examination will be published immediately after the competent committee has finished ruling on appeals. Publication of this list constitutes a summons to the written examination, and candidates may download their summonses from the dedicated website. The place and time of the written examination will be set in the summons as well as on the website.

Examinations and coefficients

The competition comprises a written examination and an oral examination, as detailed below:

• Written examination: one or more general questions or multiple-choice questions on the matters covered by the competition or on the required specialties, coefficient 5.
• Oral or practical examination, or both: the examination committee discusses with the candidate various topics and issues related to the duties of the court registry corps or to the required specialties, lasting 15 to 30 minutes, coefficient 3, in order to assess the candidate's ability to carry out the duties or functions linked to the grade put out to competition.

Publication of the list of candidates admitted to the written examination constitutes a summons to the oral examination, and candidates may download their summonses from the dedicated website. The place, date and time of the oral examination will be set in the summons as well as on the website.

Appointment and work locations

Appointment will be made to vacant work locations by the administration, based on a study of the needs actually recorded in the various central and deconcentrated services of the Ministry of Justice and in the various courts of the Kingdom. Candidates definitively admitted to the competition must complete their recruitment files with the required administrative documents.

Practical preparation checklist

Beyond the official conditions, candidates can prepare their application through the following practical steps, which are indicative and add no new conditions:

• Check early that the diploma matches the required specialty and that the specialty is clearly stated.
• Prepare clear digital copies of the diploma and supporting documents before the online application opens.
• Choose a single written examination centre and check its geographical proximity, since registration is final and cannot be changed.
• Revise general questions related to the duties of the court registry corps and to legal and environmental subjects according to the specialty.
• Follow the website for the lists and summonses during the period between registration and the competition date.
