OccupationJurist and magistrate

Born in Santiago de Compostela, he was the son of Enrique Rajoy, a Galician academic who participated in the commission that wrote the Galician Statute of Autonomy of 1936. Due to his state of health, he remained living in the presidential Palace of Moncloa during the mandate of his son, an issue that outraged part of the population because his care was borne by the palace budget.[4]

After overcoming the oppositions to the judiciary was judge of First Instance and Instruction in Orders, La Coruña, in 1948, to be subsequently assigned to the Courts of First Instance and Instruction of Lalín, Pontevedra (1949-1953), Piedrahita, Avila (1953) -1955) and Carballiño, Orense (1955-1958). He was promoted to magistrate in 1958, was a judge of First Instance and Instruction in Oviedo until 1960, and later to León as Judge of First Instance and Instruction, staying in the capital of León for ten years.[5] There he coincided, among others, with the lawyer Juan Rodríguez García-Lozano, father of former President of the Government José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero. Mariano Rajoy Sobredo reached in León an outstanding reputation for the impeccable manner in which he instructed many of the cases that came to his hands.[6] was distinguished with the Order of St. Raymond of Peñafort.
