Months after winning a national title, Harvard’s debate team has fallen to a group of New York inmates.
The showdown took place at the Eastern New York Correctional Facility, a maximum-security prison where convicts can take courses taught by faculty from nearby Bard College, and where inmates have formed a popular debate club. Last month, they invited the Ivy League undergraduates and this year’s national debate champions over for a friendly competition.
The Harvard debate team also was crowned world champions in 2014. But the inmates are building a reputation of their own. In the two years since they started a debate club, the prisoners have beaten teams from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and the University of Vermont. The competition with West Point, which is now an annual affair, has grown into a rivalry.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Just goes to show they had an Ass for a Lawyer ! ::LOL::
"in propria persona" or "in pro per" are typed where normally it would say "attorney for plaintiff."
Judges sometimes warn a party "in propria persona" of the old adage that "anyone who represents himself in court
has a fool for a client and an ass for an attorney."

Debating is not a subject in your study curriculum.
its an after school aka extra curricular activity!

not a good rebuttal !
When two people
debate, one of them makes an argument, and the other follows with a
rebuttal,
which, plainly put, is the
"no, you're wrong and this is why"
argument.

You said to study as in a curriculum of subjects
debating is not a subject in a curriculum : it is an extra curricular activity with a Society formed to compete
Samjay ?
