"On another note...in case your younger debaters wonder why they spend time doing debate work...This is my second year in law school and as most law students I have had a million interviews in the last two years. Time and again, the topic that interviewers invariably ask questions about is debate. They cannot get enough of it. They love to hear what topics we debated, what the format is, how well we did, etc. I know it is hard for the undergraduates to see the "real-world" implications of their debate experiences. However, encourage them to stick with it. The activity is worth it."
