Concurso Magistratura Nación study plan

Concurso Magistratura Nación · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Derecho Constitucional & Derecho Civil

  • Map the constitutional supremacy and control-of-constitutionality framework into a one-page schematic from memory

  • Draft a comparison table distinguishing diffuse vs. concentrated constitutional review and their procedural vehicles

  • Reconstruct, without notes, the hierarchy of sources in civil law and where constitutional norms sit

  • Solve 15 mixed constitutional/civil multiple-choice items and log every error with its cause

Your checkpoint

A two-column error log (constitutional + civil) covering at least 15 solved items, with a written cause for each miss

Week 2

Derecho Constitucional & Derecho Penal

  • Explain aloud the structure of constitutional rights, their limits, and the tests used to evaluate restrictions

  • List the guarantees of due process and criminal legality and match each to a concrete hypothetical

  • Compare the constitutional constraints on criminal law (legality, proportionality, non-retroactivity) against the Penal Code's general part

  • Write 5 short-answer responses under a 10-minute timer each and self-grade against your outline

Your checkpoint

Five timed short-answer responses on constitutional-criminal intersections, each self-graded with a corrected model answer

Week 3

Derecho Civil & Derecho Procesal

  • Diagram the civil obligations chain (sources, effects, extinction) and the procedural stages of a civil suit side by side

  • Identify where substantive civil rules determine procedural burdens (evidence, presumptions, burden of proof)

  • Draft a checklist linking each civil claim type to its competent court, procedure, and limitation period

  • Complete 20 mixed civil/procedural items and reclassify errors by substantive vs. procedural root cause

Your checkpoint

A one-page cross-reference sheet mapping civil claim types to procedure, court, and limitation period

Week 4

Derecho Penal & Derecho Procesal

  • Reconstruct the general part of criminal law (imputation, guilt, participation, concursus) in a written outline from memory

  • Trace a criminal case from investigation through trial and appeal, naming each procedural act and its controlling rule

  • Contrast the roles and powers of the parties and the judge at each procedural stage

  • Complete a full mixed mock section (criminal + procedural) under time and score it

Your checkpoint

A scored timed mock section on criminal and procedural law with a written diagnosis of the three weakest subtopics

Week 5

Derecho Constitucional & Derecho Procesal

  • Integrate constitutional due-process standards into the procedural outline, flagging every point of contact

  • Write 10 case-application paragraphs that resolve a procedural problem using constitutional reasoning

  • Practice oral defense of two procedural rulings, arguing both sides in 5 minutes each

  • Review and consolidate all prior error logs into a prioritized weak-spot list

Your checkpoint

A consolidated weak-spot list ranked by frequency and severity, with a remediation action for each of the top 10

Week 6

Derecho Administrativo & Derecho Civil

  • Outline administrative law principles (legality, procedure, administrative acts, remedies) and their judicial review

  • Map the interaction between administrative acts and private-law effects in regulated sectors

  • Solve 15 administrative items and 10 civil items, tagging each to a doctrinal category

  • Draft a short analytical note on a hypothetical administrative act and its available challenges

Your checkpoint

A written analytical note resolving a hypothetical administrative-act scenario through all available remedies

Week 7

Derecho Laboral & Derecho Penal

  • Outline the labor contract framework: formation, rights, termination, and protective principles

  • Identify the constitutional and criminal dimensions of labor relations (e.g., protected rights, sanctions for violations)

  • Compare labor and criminal liability for the same workplace conduct in a written hypothetical

  • Complete 20 mixed labor/criminal items and update the weak-spot list

Your checkpoint

A comparative written exercise on dual labor and criminal liability for a single workplace scenario

Week 8

Derecho Constitucional & Derecho Civil & Derecho Penal & Derecho Procesal & Derecho Administrativo & Derecho Laboral

  • Run two full-length timed simulations weighted by domain percentage and score both

  • Re-teach each weak-spot item from the consolidated list aloud without notes

  • Rewrite condensed one-page summaries for every domain from memory

  • Finalize a personal exam-day time-allocation and triage strategy

Your checkpoint

Two scored full simulations plus six one-page memory-reconstructed domain summaries and a written exam-day strategy

Milestones

Week 2: Score at least 70% on a 20-item constitutional + criminal set and clear the entire week-1 error log

Week 4: Complete a timed mixed mock with all errors classified by root cause and no unresolved factual gaps

Week 6: Demonstrate recall of the administrative-law outline from memory and pass a 25-item mixed set at 70%+

Week 8: Score 75%+ on both full simulations with every weak-spot item re-taught without notes
