Property In Your Body: Nicolas Rolf at TEDxHobart

Nicolas Rolf graduated from the University of Tasmania with a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Laws with Honours in 2012. On the 23rd of August 2013 he was admitted to the legal profession in Tasmania.

He has strong experience working within the public service in legal roles and recently ended a period working as an assistant to Mike Gaffney MLC to take up a role in the codes, licenses and compliance team at the Office of the Tasmanian Economic Regulator.

During the final year of his law degree he developed a strong interest in the problems the law has with dealing with ownership of the human body. He was recently published in a special edition of Thompson Reuters' Journal of Law and Medicine for his research work in this area.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
