Casual Fridays: Political attitudes and legal knowledge

This week's Casual Fridays study plays off a post written by Mike Dunford. The question is, how are political attitudes affected by legal knowledge?

The study is brief, with just 10 quick questions, and should take just a minute or two of your time. You have until 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, April 11 to participate -- or until we have 333 responses, whichever comes first. Don't forget to come back next Friday for our analysis of the results!

Update: Survey's full; I've opened up the comments. Look for the results tomorrow.
