NDF LD Topic and Pre-Institute Assignment
This year, NDF will use one topic during the LD institute. The topic that will be used is: Resolved, In a democratic society, felons ought to retain the right to vote. This is the topic for the Advanced Symposium, Varsity and Novice/JV programs.
Before camp all VARSITY and ADVANCED SYMPOSIUM students need to come to camp with cases written (students in the Novice/JV program can bring work to camp if they’d like; however, it is not expected). We do realize that there are conflicts students encounter before camp and thus ask that if you have a conflict that prevents you from writing full cases that you write as much as possible.
Below are links to some articles on the topic. This list is a beginning point to introduce you to the topic; however, it is not an extensive list by any means. You should conduct independent research and this should serve as a starting point to get you thinking!
