Values and criteria

LD is a value debate. Your value tells the judge what matters; your criterion measures whether you achieve it. DebateLab helps you test whether your criterion actually links to your value.

Case structure for LD

A strong LD case has an opening quote, definitions, value, criterion, and contentions with warrants and impacts. Use DebateLab to draft and pressure-test each piece.

Cross-examination and rebuttal

Cross-ex in LD exposes weak links between value and criterion. Practice generating likely CX questions and building rebuttal blocks for common LD arguments.
