La mente non è un vaso da riempire, ma un fuoco da accendere, Plutarco
Paulo Pinto De Albuquerque
Before joining the Court, Albuquerque has served as a judge in various civil and criminal courts in Lisbon, an expert with the Council of Europe’s Group of States Against Corruption (GRECO), an advisor to the Portuguese Ministry of Internal Administration, and an associate professor at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa (UCP).[2] From 2006, he served as an adjunct professor at the University of Illinois College of Law. In January 2016, Albuquerque issued the only dissenting opinion of the seven judges when the Court ruled against Romanian engineer Bogdan Barbulescu who was fired in 2007 after his company discovered that he was using their internet for personal purposes during work hours. Albuquerque detailed in court documents that Barbulescu's personal correspondence during work time was neither prolonged nor damaging to the company he was employed by. He called Barbulescu's dismissal disproportionate.
