The YLD is proud to sponsor the Young Lawyers High School Debate Tournament, Oct. 26-27 at West High School in SLC (note that this is a new location from years past), now in its third year, bringing together hundreds of Utah high school students for two days of team debate and speech events.
For generations, debate has served as a launching pad for students interested in becoming lawyers. YLD’s involvement with high school debate provides a positive first contact point between students and the Bar. Lawyers, former high school and college debaters, will judge team debate finals. YLD is recruiting sitting judges from Utah’s state and federal courts to judge public forum debate finals. For more information, or to help judge, please contact Chad Derum at cderum@mc2b.com or 363-5678.
