An appointment with a direct impact on Conca de Barberà

The vacancy in the justice of the peace court leaves the municipality without one of its local judicial bodies until the procedure is resolved, which affects the processing of small disputes and conciliation acts in the locality. The call opens an opportunity for law graduates from Vilaverd and the region as a whole who wish to assume a non-professionalized judicial function but with relevant competencies in civil and civil registry matters.
