Rawlinson Cup Debate and Final
Event Details
The Rawlinson Cup Debate is competition which has several knock-out rounds and culminates in show final debate, judged by Master of the Bench of the Inn. The final is a Qualifying session for those taking part and watching.
The debate will consist of four teams: two teams in proposition (the Government bench), and two teams in opposition to the motion (the opposition bench). There are two speakers in a team. The object of the debate is to use your skills of advocacy and strategy to convince the judges of your case.
