What is it?

Why Join?

Debating is a critical skill for many new lawyers. It enhances public speaking by developing confidence and improving style. It allows you to practice arguing either side of an argument, even when you don’t agree with your position. We host meetings where students can watch their classmates debate or give it a try themselves! We additionally give lessons on how to improve debate speeches and host sessions on the fundamentals of debating, public speaking, and mooting. Participation will give you a cutting edge in your public speaking and analytical abilities, both in class and in legal practice.
