Judicial officer
Judges decide cases; prosecutors conduct public prosecution. Their functions and safeguards differ.
Measure 4.08 · structural effect
Recruiting 5,000 Judges and Court Clerks Over Five Years
Creating a budget position does not place a trained professional in a court. Implementation must cover the entire recruitment pipeline.
Plan proposal
Measure 4.08 proposes 5,000 net positions for judges, prosecutors and court clerks through redeployment. “Net” means that departures and persistent vacancies must be deducted. A budget line is not enough: people must be recruited, trained, placed and retained.
Different professions
Court clerk
Court clerks authenticate acts, manage procedure and make the daily operation of courts possible.
Full pipeline
Why recruitment must be phased
Training schools, supervisors, examination boards and host courts have limited capacity. A rapid surge can reduce selection or training quality. Planning must connect recruitment, retirement, mobility, initial training and territorial attractiveness.
Seven planning columns
| Column | Question |
|---|---|
| Gross need | How many additional people are operationally required? |
| Expected departures | Retirements, mobility and resignations? |
| Recruitment | How many entrants can be selected? |
| Training capacity | How many can be trained well? |
| Vacancy rate | How many authorised jobs remain empty? |
| Full cost | Pay, pensions, equipment, premises and support. |
| Expected result | Which delay, backlog or quality indicator should improve? |

Caution: the figure of 5,000 comes from the Plan. Allocation, full cost and timing require review using actual staffing and training data.
