Resolved: The United States federal government should enact a moratorium on hyperscale data center construction.
This release introduces the expanded The Forensics Files Public Forum system. The traditional complete PF topic file remains at the center, but it has been expanded into a coordinated research, strategy, competition, and classroom package.
The package includes topic overview and definitions, neutral background evidence, complete Pro and Con evidence books, best-card starter packs, six Pro constructive cases, six Con constructive cases, rebuttal blocks and round strategy, extensions and frontlines, Summary and Final Focus preparation, crossfire strategy, judge adaptation, printable round-ready quick sheets, practice drills and scrimmages, model answers and coaching rubrics, source guides, student-ready PDFs, editable coach Word files, and complete master versions.
Beginners can start with the overview, starter packs, and cases, while experienced debaters can use the full evidence and strategy library to prepare technical blocks, turns, weighing, evidence comparisons, and matchup-specific strategies.
It is designed to take a team from the first day of the topic through tournament preparation and elimination-round strategy.
In each Public Forum file we guarantee:
-Four Cases - Unlike most other companies’ files, ours are “cut for time” so that students can read them in the given speech time, preparing them for the conditions of an actual LD debate. This allows students of all experience to make immediate use of the files for practice debates. Our files contain cases with original analysis and are designed to be progressive enough for modern debate while embracing the spirit of classic debate to appeal to a maximum number of judges. Each case comes with their own preflow to reduce the amount of practice time spent preflowing and to spend more practice time debating.
-Topic Overview - Specific and comprehensive analysis of the topic, cases, and strategies both sides can use while discussing arguments they will need to address. Our overviews are written by an author with a B.A. and J.D. with a background in domestic and international law, so our topic overviews can be cut as evidence!
-50 Additional Cards – Extensions are included from books, journals, law reviews, magazines, and think tanks that any debater could use to write their own cases, supplement the cases we offer, or to write blocks.
-Blocks – Our files also contain pre written blocks students can immediately use against common arguments.
The September / October and November / December MEGAFILE contains twice the content of our typical files
Our files contain everything a student needs to start debating immediately so they can master the event sooner and win faster. Unlike quote books and "evidence dump" briefs, our Files are original, educational, and functional. You cannot get better files than The Forensics Files!
PFD files are released within about one week from the date of topic release in PDF format. If the file is already published you will be able to instantly download the file. If the file is not published you will be emailed the file upon publication.
