Macau law is broadly based on Portuguese law, and therefore part of the civil law tradition of continental European legal systems. Portuguese law is itself highly influenced by German law. However, many other influences are present, including Chinese law, Italian law, and some narrow aspects of common law.
Macau's legal code is written in Portuguese; therefore law students at University of Macau take their classes in Portuguese.[1]
