Buckley Institute Releases First National Law Student Survey: (pdf) (executive summary):

The Buckley Institute released its first ever law student survey, asking law students around the country to weigh in on free speech, the American legal system, and the 2024 election. The poll was conducted by Inquire, LLC and surveyed 232 law students across dozens of universities around the country. 

“Though law students overall support free speech, there is a noticeable undercurrent of censorship that America’s law schools must address,” said Buckley Institute Founder and Executive Director Lauren Noble. “It is no coincidence that the same groups that feel less pressure to self-censor are also those more willing to censor others.”

“Perhaps most concerning for future law firms,” Noble added, “this same group of future lawyers care more about social justice than they do about delivering a favorable result for their potential clients.”
