Despite his first impression of Macao as a ‘hot and humid place’, he later discovered that he was charmed by the city’s attractions, and he decided to stay on. In 1996, the local government appointed him the coordinator of the reform of the Commercial Code, a 19th-century creation that could no longer meet Macao’s needs. 㑁᫅期۞⧀㤝《 ࠉ Ք》 ᑜ᧔ḑ९ⅰGarciaᐑእᕋॺ⮗⭉Ḧ Ꭸͭྫྷ ຨ ݶ ॺ㭗⓺㡕ᘪਉᐑǎ־ሊᰎ 㟑ᒿ䢬͒ ྲ 㐛ঁ ᑚǗ۞ᶣ۞ᰫǘ䢬ྭ ϚᆾⅪέᰎ㟑ⅰܻ ཙ́ ⴵǎ199 䢬GarciaᐑእỼ᐀ͭ ࠇ ᳤ݪ ᧈՒ ⪿ᙋ ږ ゞ䢬ᏼ㤛ॺ19˞☶ 〔ב Ǎᑾ ຂ˗ᒿⅰǕ ࠇ ᧈՒǖǎ Augusto Teixeira Garcia: ᳦ 澳門㨳ྮ́ ᇀ Augusto Teixeira Garcia: Nurturing Legal Professionals for Macao ᐵ ] ⮀ᨶ⁶ğ ९ ] ήᖢ Chinese & English Text | Davis Ipğ Photo | Jack Ho ᰎ㟑૭ಾᧈಾ㡕㡕㟊 Augusto Teixeira Garcia ᐑእϚ⦨⮗⭉Ḧ䢬1990 Ϛᰎ૭ נ ㌨ⅰᖣ̭ ૭ಾͭ ᐑǎ₢ᒿ͒ ▤̜ Շ☺䢬ㅫᑁྡྷྭ ㏧ 0ॺᰎ㟑ঁ ᘽ䢬ोᢵྭ 20㟠ˍ↽ᐑእ ࠇ ᧈ䢬ാՐᒴ͒ ˷മᏼ 㤛ⅰǕ ࠇ ᧈՒǖ䢬͒ ゐ䢺Ǘ㐛㷃૦Ϛ䢬ᆒྷ ᕰྲ ⾾㢹㟘ᰎ㟑ǎǘ In 1990, Prof Augusto Teixeira Garcia relocated from Portugal to work on a two-year contract at the University of East Asia (UEA), the predecessor of the University of Macau (UM). At the time, he did not anticipate that this city would become his home, or that he would become an associate dean of the Faculty of Law (FLL). In the past 20 years, he has taught commercial law, in particular the Commercial Code of Macao, of which he was the main drafter. ‘All these years, I’ve never wanted to leave Macao,’ he says.
