Given the "talent" on this particular forum, there's no doubt that many of you would make excellent debate judges. In middle and high schools across the country, students are spending a lot of time doing research, training and refining their skills as persuasive speaker and in competition, there's a need for volunteer lay judges. Relatively little experience is needed and it's a great way to "give back" to the community and to bear witness to some very bright and enthusiastic students. Just contact your local schools for info, I'm sure they'll be happy to have you on board.
