Entitlement” (hereinafter “PET”), addressed to “regulate the situation of the nontitular Judges.”112
96. The NEC established that the PET would have a “twelve-month validity” and
sought to “regulate the situation of the non-titular Judges”, that is, of the
provisional, temporary, or accidental judges.113 For the tenders within this program
“only […] those non-titular judges, with at least three (3) months in the exercise of
judicial tasks on the date on which the Academic Training Program starts” would be
summoned.114
97.
On the other hand, the objective of the PFI is “to train those who aspire to be
judges and other officials of the judicial career in matters related to the
administration of justice.”115 The possibility to pre-register in the PFI is announced by
the National School of the Magistracy through announcements in two newspapers of
ample national circulation and on the webpage of the TSJ.116 Those who comply with
the requirements established in the NEC shall present an entrance exam,117 and if
they pass it, they are submitted to psychological and medical evaluations in order to
determine the physical and emotional fitness for the exercise of judicial duties. 118
Once these stages have been overcome, the National School of the Magistracy shall
publish the list of those who aspired and were admitted to participate in the PFI in
two newspapers of ample national circulation and on the website of the TSJ, in the
same way in which the pre-registration was announced, with the objective that the
community inform within the following 5 working days on observations and
objections they may have regarding those people who have been accepted.119 The
evaluation of the participants in the PFI consists of a theoretical phase that includes
the evaluation of subjects related to the Judicial Power and the administration of
justice and other practices, regarding the realization of legal internships under the
tutorship of a titular judge.120
98.
Those who pass the PFI go on to the next stage, consisting of a “Knowledge
Exam” that includes written, oral, and practical exams.121 The National School of the
Magistracy shall publish in two newspapers of ample national circulation and on the
webpage of the TSJ the date, time, and hour at which this exam will be performed.122
Once the final result of the tender is obtained, the jury will prepare a list of merits of
the participants. The vacant positions will be filled with the participants that obtained
the first places in the tender.123
