DOAR recently conducted a study that measures how people of diverse demographics differ in their opinions on free speech and its application in legal contexts. The survey included questions regarding attitudes toward hate speech, online content moderation, and the application of First Amendment protections. It was completed by more than 1,500 jury-eligible New York residents and specifically measures the following:

• Opinions about free speech and experiences related to free speech
• Trust in the federal government, courts, and news media
• Decision-making in hypothetical legal cases involving free speech arguments

This is the first comprehensive report examining key attitudinal differences of potential jurors on free speech issues in the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York.
