Calabria judicial offices proposed 47 new trainee magistrate positions

CSM magistrate vacancies Calabria judiciary judicial staffing Italian justice system

The Third Commission of the Consiglio Superiore della Magistratura (CSM) has proposed the assignment of 47 trainee magistrate positions to judicial offices in the Calabria region. The proposal, which was approved unanimously by the Commission, must now undergo review by the CSM Plenum.

Of the proposed positions, 33 are designated for the district of the Court of Appeal of Catanzaro and 14 are for the district of Reggio Calabria. This initiative is part of a broader effort to address significant staffing shortages within the Italian judiciary. As of September 24, 2026, Italian judicial offices reported a total of 1,314 vacant magistrate positions, a figure that exceeds the 339 trainee magistrates currently available.

The Commission's strategy prioritizes smaller offices where even a single vacancy can severely impact functionality. For medium-sized offices, the goal is to limit vacancies to approximately 10%. In larger metropolitan offices, assignments are generally restricted to cases involving health-related benefits for magistrates or their families. The allocation process considered workloads, pending cases, new filings, and previous mobility procedures.
