Within these vaults are housed some of the worst, most criminal wastes of paper ever known to man. I'm terrified to look at half of them, and the other half have a sinister look. Still, if the reader has sunk so low that they have to get their kicks laughing at my debate cases, I'm quite pleased to present...

Cases are organized by resolution, position, and version number. Be wary, though, a change in version number may indicate something as simple as the repair of an awkward sentence, or a complete rewriting.

November-December 1996 and January-Febuary 1997 have been lost. Sorry!

November-December 1997 Resolved: An adolescent's right to privacy ought to be valued above a parent's conflicting right to know.

Affirmative	Negative
Version 1	Version 1
Version 2	Version 2
Version 3	Version 3
Version 4	Version 4
Version 5	Version 5
Version 6	Version 6

Naturally, I feel obligated to include the obligatory disclaimer/warning: "Don't use these cases, and if you do, and get laughed out of a tournament as a result, don't come whining to me. I told you not to do do it."

As a further disclaimer, pulling some of the definitional trickery that I resorted to in the last few Affirmative cases, where I tried to exclude illegal actions from the cover of privacy, is often considered an abusive argument--don't do it, kids. I learned my lesson, sure enough. (I was paddled.)
