[nggallery id=38]

The Chicago Debate League held its 4th annual Junior Varsity Championship for neighborhood (non-RCC) schools this weekend, the 2013 McDermott Will and Emery Urban Debate JV Invitational. In addition to featuring highly-engaged competition, and some especially valuable instructional feedback from judges (three weeks in advance of the 2013 Chicago Debate Championship), the event centered on urban debate’s connection to the legal profession and the ways in which Chicago debaters might consider and pursue a legal career.

With regard to the competition, Marshall Metro H.S. won the 2013 MWE JV Championship, for the second year in a row, while Neeyhah Muhammad from Daniel Hale Williams HS won Top Speaker. The top teams and top speakers lists follow.
