About Champion Briefs

Champion Briefs is a debate resource provider dedicated to helping more students experience the transformative power of speech and debate.


For more than a decade, Champion Briefs has created monthly briefings for Public Forum and Lincoln-Douglas topics featuring original analysis, cited evidence, and comprehensive information to help students and coaches prepare for debates and learn about the world. Each brief is hundreds of pages long and provides a starting point for students to master the debate topic. Our PF and LD briefs are available as one-file purchases or at a highly discounted rate for school-year subscriptions.

We believe in the transformative power of debate, not just as a competitive activity but as a lifelong skill that molds critical thinkers and eloquent speakers. That’s why our team, comprised of debate educators and alumni, works tirelessly to ensure that every resource we provide is accurate, relevant, and instructive.


We're passionate about fostering the next generation of well-informed, articulate, and persuasive speakers. Students who use Champion Briefs win more debate rounds, but they also learn critical thinking skills and worldly knowledge that will last a lifetime.

How are briefs used?

Debate briefs are used by teachers, coaches, and students to learn more about debate topics and the activity itself. We recommend using our briefs as a starting point for research and analysis, but coaches and competitors should always do their own research to prepare for rounds. Our briefs do not include complete cases and are not intended to be the only source of information that students use while preparing for debates.
