Marco Antonio Marques da Silva is a Judge who was recently honored at the PUC-São Paulo. Marco teaches Criminal Law at the Institute at the Perdizes Campus. One of the new auditoriums was named after him as he is such an inspiration of all. He actually helped with some of the construction to the auditorium. While this man was being honored, the speaker stated that he is “always ready to help with everything”. This is extremely honorable of someone to do.
At the young age of 15 years old, Marco Antonio Marques da Silva was already wanting to go to law school. In 2002, Marco was promoted to a substitute judge and he became a Court of Appeals judge in the year 2007. He was always very professional and well educated in everything he did. Marco is greatly admired at the University and is a role model for his students and other professors. There are many people that look up to this inspiration of a man. He made sure that he was always available to talk and to help regardless of the person’s sex, race, social or political status. He never based a person on how they looked from the outside. He never viewed others as inferior and always treated everyone with the upmost respect.
In addition to his honoring ceremony, Judge Marco Antonio Marques da Silva also was given a plaque from PUC’s Office for Specialization and Extension courses. This was just another additional thing for him to do. During his honoring he recognized his wife, sister, mother and his daughter stating that he wouldn’t be able to get where he was today without them. The ceremony was a beautiful one and was one to remember forever. Judge Marco was a very busy man but always made sure he made time for everyone no matter what.
