Rostrum Articles: The Rostrum is the magazine published by the National Forensics League that contains articles written by some of the best coaches in the league on various Speech and Debate events. Links provided by Debate Central.
Briefs: There are business out there that provide preparation materials for debaters which are called briefs. Briefs usually include analysis by experienced coaches, evidence for several key points, and sometimes sample cases. Due to the lack of Lincoln-Douglas Debaters our team will not be purchasing briefs this year. However, for students interested in briefs we recommend Victory Briefs.
