Arthur L. Carter Journalism | D Abella Institute at NYU |
A project of First Amendment Watch within the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at New York University. We are building the first national database of alleged SLAPPs — strategic lawsuits against public participation — potentially meritless or malicious legal actions that can financially cripple and ultimately silence critical voices. Targets are frequently journalists, activists, and whistleblowers, but can be anyone exercising their First Amendment rights.
