What is TEDx? In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxJacksonville, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxJacksonville event, TED Talks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

Hank Coxe | When Will Your Child Be Eligible for Parole?

No one disputes that America incarcerates people at a higher rate than any civilized country in the world. Why do we feel we need to do it to our children? And why are we the only country in the “civilized” world that sentences children to die in prison? Celebrated trial lawyer Hank Coxe asks, where is the morality in incarcerating children? Youth incarceration in America is out of control and a moral stain on our country.

He joined the Bedell Firm in 1996.

Considered one of the most esteemed lawyers in the State of Florida and a former special prosecutor for the Florida State Attorney's office, Coxe served on the Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission and the Florida Supreme Court Innocence Commission. He is widely recognized for his pro bono work, fundraising for legal aid and improving the administration of justice.
