Emory ’26, Calvert Hall ’22, yes email chain- lcsrlobo@gmail.com This used to be much longer, but I abbreviated lots of it because it wasn’t super relevant to my decision calculus.

Above all else, I am interested in you showing me that you have listened to the opponent’s argument and shown me why your team has the superior plan, be it how we should orient ourselves in terms of our values, or how a government agency should carry out a specific proposal.

What I am looking for while judging debates: The first thing that I look for in a debate is that the debaters clearly lay out their arguments. Without clearly stating the argument, it is difficult to understand the points that are being debated. Many arguments have nuanced issues that can be easily confused. Being re...
