30 Third-Grade Judicial Commissioner Posts at the Ministry of Justice

The Ministry of Justice is holding a recruitment competition for 30 third-grade judicial commissioners (scale 10) to carry out the duties of the court registry corps. The competition carries the code C 44742/26 and derives from Ministry of Justice Order No. 52/m.m.b/26 of 13 November 2026, issued after authorisation No. 1121 from the Head of Government dated 11 November 2026. Salary: from 6500 to 9000 MAD per month.

The offer targets holders of diplomas in media and communication, legal sciences, sharia, sharia and law, or letters, subject to the other regulatory conditions set out in the order.

Post allocation by specialty

The order divides the advertised posts between two tracks, with a separate number for each:

The legal sciences and sharia track therefore requires, in addition to the diploma, a certificate of practice of copyist duties; this condition is specific to that track and does not apply to media and communication.

Eligibility conditions

General conditions

• Meet the conditions set out in Article 21 of the General Civil Service Statute, as amended and supplemented.
• Be at least 18 and at most 45 years old on 1 January of the current year.

Diploma conditions

• Hold the diplomas or certificates listed in Article 1 of the order, in one of the required specialties and related fields, issued by national university institutions authorised to deliver them.
• Or hold one of the corresponding equivalence certificates, in accordance with the regulatory provisions in force.
• No diploma or certificate of another level or specialty will be accepted.

Reserved quotas

The order reserves 25% of the advertised posts for persons with the status of resistance fighter, ward of the nation, former military personnel or former combatant, and 7% for persons with disabilities. These two percentages are independent of each other and are not combined.

Application procedure and deadlines

Registration must be made in one single centre only, through the dedicated computer application on the website of the Ministry of Justice's Human Resources Directorate, until Wednesday 2 December 2026 at 16:30, the final deadline for registration.

1. Access the dedicated computer application and select one centre only.
2. Complete the online registration, which is final and cannot be amended.
3. Submit the application file electronically, together with the required documents.

Application file documents

• A copy of the original diploma or certificate in the required specialty, or of one of the corresponding equivalence certificates in accordance with the regulatory provisions in force, accompanied by a copy of the equivalence decision where applicable.
• A certificate issued by the government authority responsible for persons with disabilities, for applicants with disabilities.
• A final, unconditional authorisation issued by the human resources services of the employing administration to sit the competition, for applicants with the status of established or contractual civil servant, failing which the application is rejected or the candidate removed from the final list of successful applicants.
• A certificate issued by the Directorate of Civil Affairs and Legal and Judicial Professions of the Ministry of Justice proving practice of copyist duties.

Special situations

• Applicants with the status of ward of the nation, former military personnel or former combatant must submit their applications within the application procedure, attach proof of that status to their files and complete the procedure later through the administrations responsible for managing their affairs.
• Applications registered electronically without submission of the required documents in the dedicated application are rejected.
• Applications accompanied by a certificate of success are accepted; however, applicants admitted to the written test must present, on the day of the oral test, copies certified true to the original of the required diploma — not the certificate of success — together with the other documents listed above.
• Applicants definitively admitted must complete their recruitment files with the administrative documents required for recruitment.

Tests

The competition comprises a written test and an oral test, as follows.

Written test

One or more general questions, or multiple-choice questions, on various issues and topics related to the justice service, to the duties or functions attached to the advertised grade, or to the required specialties. Duration: one and a half hours; coefficient: 5.

Oral or practical test

The panel discusses with the candidate various topics and issues related to the duties of the court registry corps or the required specialties, in order to assess the candidate's ability to perform the duties or functions attached to the advertised grade. Duration: 15 to 30 minutes; coefficient: 3.

Lists and convocations

A preliminary list of applicants admitted to the written test will be published on the website of the Human Resources Directorate at least 15 days before the competition date. Applicants who registered electronically may challenge the omission of their names from that list within a maximum of three days from its publication, by sending a request on the matter to the competent authority.

The final list of applicants admitted to the written test will be published immediately after the competent committee completes its review of challenges. Publication of this list serves as a convocation to the written test; applicants may download their convocations from the website. The place and time of the written test will be specified in the convocation and on the website.

Publication of the list of applicants admitted to the written test likewise serves as a convocation to the oral test; applicants may download their convocations from the website, which will specify the place, date and time of the oral test.

Assignment

The administration will assign successful applicants to vacant posts on the basis of the needs actually recorded in the various central and deconcentrated services of the Ministry of Justice and in the Kingdom's courts. Written tests will take place in Rabat and in other centres where necessary.

Practical preparation checklist

The following list is practical guidance and does not create additional official requirements:

• Check that your diploma falls within one of the two required tracks and keep a copy of the equivalence decision if your qualification is equivalent.
• Prepare in advance the certificate of practice of copyist duties if you are applying in the legal sciences, sharia, or sharia and law track.
• Check your age as at 1 January of the current year before finalising registration.
• Make sure to submit the documents electronically: registration without submission of documents is rejected.
• Prepare for the written test by revising topics related to the justice service and the duties of the court registry corps.
