Personal Background: • New York University ’10, B.A. in Political Science • University of Virginia School of Law ’13, J.D. Debate Experience: • High School LD Debate • NYU Parliamentary Debate Team • 2010 World University Debating Championships (Antalya, Turkey) Judging Experience: • School/ community judge (MCPS-LD) • NYU Dino Judge (Parliamentary) Guidelines • As long as you are speaking clearly, flowing will not be an issue. That being said, speaking extremely fast does not impress me. • Do not drop arguments. • Incorporating warrants and adequately explaining their impact on the resolution is important; value clash is the most important. • Cross examination questions should not be wasted. Where possible, please reference back to CX during your later speeches. • In rebuttals, please clearly delineate the voting issues of the round and why your side is superior. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #404040; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14.399999618530273px;">• Be resolute, but also polite!
