Event Description:
JUDGE INSTRUCTIONS: Lincoln Douglas debate is an event in which a student competes against another student to discuss affirmative and negative arguments of value. Many topics center around the question of what ought to be instead of what is. For example, many topics invoke concepts like justice, morality, and duty. The Lincoln-Douglas debater learns value analysis, research skills, logical argumentation, political theory and philosophy.
