Mallorca court set for two judge posts as Balearics add 13
Mallorca’s Provincial Court in Palma is set for two new judge posts: Spain’s cabinet approved 13 across the Balearic Islands for 2027 on Friday, 13 November 2026. The islands are also due four new prosecutor posts. Ten of the judge posts will go to first-instance courts in Palma, Eivissa and Maó; the announcement does not say how many each city will receive.
The final judge post can be moved within the Balearics as court workloads change. Spain’s Ministry of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with Parliament says the plan will increase judge posts on the islands by 8% and prosecutor posts by 5.13%.
Across Spain, the cabinet approved 500 judge posts and 200 prosecutor posts for 2027. It based their distribution on court workloads, the number of legal disputes and population.
