Public contest

In Brazil, public contests ( _pt. concursos públicos) are the most commonly used form of hiring public servants, including teachers, bureaucrats, diplomats, prosecutors, judges, etc. The Constitution of Brazil of 1988 demands that public servants be hired by public contests.

The large majority of contests are composed of multiple choice tests, but other types in conjunction with those are common, such as writing tests and oral tests.

All trial court judges, both in the state and federal level, are hired by public contest. Judges of the Justice Courtss and of the Regional Federal Courts, which are state and federal appellate courts, are chosen among trial court judges.

All trial court prosecutors are also chosen by public contest, and prosecutors that work in cases of the appellate courts are chosen among trial court prosecutors.
