## Early life and education

[edit]

Nicolaï was born on 28 June 1947 in Amsterdam, North Holland.[2][3] He attended the Spinoza Lyceum [nl] from 1959 to 1965, and studied law at the University of Amsterdam from 1965 to 1969.[2][3] He received a doctorate from the University of Amsterdam in 1990.[3]

## Career

[edit]

In 1968, during his studies at the University of Amsterdam, Nicolaï started working as an assistant professor at the university's law faculty.[2] He was later promoted to associate professor, which he remained until 2018.[3][4] Between 1968 and 1975, he also worked as a freelance journalist for, among others, VPRO, Vrij Nederland and De Groene Amsterdammer.[2][3][4]

Nicolaï has been active as a lawyer since 1985.[3] Having specialised in administrative law, he has often proceeded against the Dutch government, representing various (environmental) activist groups.[5] From 1989 to 2004, he worked as a professor of public law at the Open University of the Netherlands.[3]

In the 2019 Senate election, Nicolaï was elected as a member of the Senate on behalf of the Party for the Animals. He was installed on 11 June 2019.[3]
