Jim Menick at Coachean Life has started his irreg­u­lar series of arti­cles on Pub­lic Forum Debate. Mr. Menick is an expe­ri­enced coach with an exten­sive back­ground in Lincoln-Douglas Debate. He uses LD to intro­duce stu­dents to debate. He is explor­ing Pub­lic Forum Debate and prepar­ing teach­ing mate­ri­als for his students.

I think this series is going to be use­ful for those new to Pub­lic Forum Debate and espe­cially use­ful for those mak­ing the tran­si­tion from LD to PFD.

Part 1 and Part 2 were pub­lished ear­lier this week.
