From the debate community.

Varsity Briefs brings together high school and college debaters to build evidence for Public Forum and Lincoln–Douglas.

Our briefs pair in-depth topic research with competitively cut cards. Our lectures bring the topic into focus through the experience of accomplished competitors.
