About Public Forum Debate:

When you turned on your Television and see Judge Judy or Judge Joe Brown, you were actively being enlightened by the wonders of Public Forum Debate. Public Forum is a form of debate that is purely based off of evidence, evidence and evidence...with a slight incorporation of logic and eloquence. Because this is a TEAM debate and a PREPARED event, you as a Public Forum debater get the best of two worlds. For those that feel insecure giving impromptu or extemporaneous speeches, this debate is for YOU. For those that prefer working as a team and having a friend or teammate as a source of comfort during competitions, this debate is for YOU. Unlike Parliamentary debate where you exercise your ability to circumvent questions and BS information, unlike Lincoln Douglass Debate where you are restrictively focused on moral ethics and human values, unlike Policy Debate where you develop tongue muscles from spreading, Public Forum debate offers invaluable skill assets that you can apply to your future. Remember that we are the next great generation, and that it is within our moral obligation to uphold these standards that our ancestors have set forth for the sake of future generations. Public Forum is the first step to fulfilling that role. Veritas Vos Liberabit (the truth will set you free). Choose Public Forum!


                                Best Wishes, 
                                             David Wu & Joshua Tran
