Our briefs for Public Forum Debate are powerful educational tools because of their structure, quality, and quantity of included arguments. Each brief includes topic analyses by highly reputable coaches and alumni, background information on the topic, and heavily warranted arguments on each side — every argument paired with blocks and answers so you're prepared for anything. As educators, we believe it is important to help students learn argumentation, research, and critical thinking skills fostered by debate. Our briefs are designed to facilitate real learning — helping students succeed in their rounds and build a foundation of expertise that benefits them for a lifetime.
