f. Nor may the negative re-define terms or words contained in the motion so that a completely different debate is thereby set up. However, a Negative may contend with the specific or general approach to terminology supplied by the definition of the Affirmative.

CHALLENGING DEFINITION

a. If the definition advanced by the Leader of the Affirmative contravenes any of the prohibitions set out in this rule (see PART 8: d), the Negative have the right to challenge the definition.

b. The challenge must be made in the speech of the Leader of the Opposition, following a clear statement that the Affirmative’s definition is rejected.

c. In the event of a challenge, the Leader of the Opposition must justify his/her rejection by supplying the grounds of which the original definition is being rejected. Furthermore, a substitute definition must be supplied, which the opposition bench must go on to negate.

d. The debate which follow is characterized by the use of the ‘even if’ arguments, unless a truism has been categorically exposed.

e. If the Leader of the Opposition does not challenge the definition, no other speaker may do so.

f. The burden to prove that a definition is unreasonable is on the Opposition.

g. Adjudicators will not indicate during the debate which definition they find to be more acceptable.

h. Neither team should abandon either the definitions or the challenges of its opening speakers.

i. Definitions should not require members of the house to have access to, or posses, specific or expert knowledge.

MATTER

a. ‘Matter’ relates to issues in debate, the case being presented and the material used to substantive argument.

b. The issues under debate should be correctly prioritized and ordered, dealing with the most important first.

c. Matter should be logical and well reasoned.

d. Matter should be relevant, both to the issue in contention and the cases being advanced.

e. Matter should be persuasive.

f. Matter will be assessed from the viewpoint of ‘the average reasonable person.’ Adjudicators must disregard any specialist knowledge they have, even though pertinent to the issues under debate.

g. Bias will not affect an adjudicator assessment or evaluation of a debate. Debaters must not be discriminated against on the basis of religion, sex, race, nationality, sexual preferences, age, social status, accent, or any disability.

h. Points of information should be assessed according to the effect they have on both the cases of the speaker offering, and the speaker responding.

i. A debater should take at least two points of information during a speech.

j. A Government Whip (Third Affirmative) may introduce ‘new matter’ to the debate, but is advised not to do so (new matter in this context means a new argument and does not refer to either new perspectives on an old argument or new examples, unless these change the course of the original argument entirely).

k. An Opposition Whip (Third Negative) is NOT permitted to introduce new matter into the debate, UNLESS the argument is clearly in rebuttal of a new argument delivered by the third affirmative.

l. No ‘new matter’ is to be introduced during the Reply Speeches. The reply speech presents teams with an opportunity to focus on major issues in the debate and the way in which both teams approach that ‘point of clash’. The reply speech should also give an ‘optimistic overview’ of the general approach to the debate by both sides and focus on the relative merits on the case of the side replying, and the relative weaknesses on the case of the opposing team. Reply Speech should neither continue rebutting arguments, nor advancing old arguments into significantly new ‘territory’.

m. All speakers must develop ‘positive matter’ in advancing their respective cases. A negative team cannot rely purely on its rebuttal of the affirmative case and must present a case in opposition.

n. Whips (third speakers) may not give reply speeches.

MANNER

a. Manner refers to the presentation and delivery style of a speaker.

b. The following list represents some of the elements which are, or may be, subsumed under manner. The list is intended as a guide, rather than as a number of marking categories. It’s a combination of these elements (rather than the accomplishment of each), in various proportions that contributes to an individual speaker’s style. The major influence on an adjudicator must be: “Is the speaker’s manner EFFECTIVE in advancing the case?”

The considerations are:

i. Vocal style : volume, clarity, pronunciation, pace, intonation, fluency, confidence, authority

ii. Language : conversational

iii. Use of notes : should not distract, should not be read

iv. Eye contact : with audience and adjudicators

v. Gesture : natural appropriate

vi. Stance : natural appropriate

vii. Sincerity : believability

viii. Personal attacks :(derogatory comments are not to be tolerated)

ix. Humor :effectiveness

c. Participants in E-Comp debates must be aware that they will experience many different debating styles from different universities and high schools represented therein. There is no single ‘correct’ or ‘right’ style to adopt in this competition.

d. As with matter (see PART 10: g), personal bias must not be allowed to influence an adjudicator’s assessment of manner.

METHOD

a. There are three major elements in the context of debating method. These are:

i. Individual method (speech structure),

ii. Team method (case structure and organization),

iii. Response to the dynamics of the debate (POIs, interjections and effectiveness, accuracy and relevance of rebuttals).

b. Individual method pertains to the structure and organization of an individual speech. This may be evident in reasonably clear outline of the issues to be dealt with in a speaker’s speech. It may also be apparent in the degree of fluency with which the speech moves from one point to another in a clear, logical sequence. Similarly, a speaker may ‘sign-post’ his/her transition from one phase to another.

c. Individual method pertains to the ‘balance’ of a speech. Whereby an equable division of speaking time is made to allow each of the phases of the speech a reasonable time for development (opening remarks, rebuttal, own point, summary, etc).

d. Individual method pertains to good time management and good time keeping.

i. Over time speeches:

Once the double knock of the gravel has sounded, speakers are given a 20-seconds ‘grace period’, during which they should conclude remarks already under contention. It is not a time for a new matter to be introduced, and such new matter will be discounted by the adjudicators. Speakers continuing after this ‘grace period’ may be penalized in the Method category.

ii. Under time speeches:

If the speaker concludes his/her speech on or near the second single knock of the gravel, he/she will not be penalized for an under time speech. However, if significantly under time, a speaker may be penalized under Method and possibly also under Matter. The latter, assuming that less matter was advanced, or that it was clearly underdeveloped.

e. Team Method pertains to the effectiveness of the team’s case organization and structure as a whole.

f. Team Method pertains to the equable division of role of speakers and responsibilities during a debate, and the effective acquittal of those roles and responsibilities.

g. Response to the dynamics of the debate pertains to the reactive abilities of speakers and teams to the ongoing strategies being employed by both sides, and the shifts in the balance of power from one side to another.

h. Teams and speakers should response to clear strategic issues, not minor ‘slips of the tongue’ or insignificant points.

i. Dynamic response may also affect Matter marks for a speaker in cases where the identification of a vital point, the cogent analysis of this point in the context of the debate and a balance attacks on it is develop in an ensuing speech.

j. Team members may keep time and signal member holding the floor. Time signal may not be spoken aloud. Speakers may also keep their own time.

MARKING THE DEBATE

a. At the end of every debate, each adjudicator must complete his/her adjudication forms. In addition, the Chair Adjudicator must complete a ‘speed ballot’ form and give it to the LO before starting the feedback.

b. There is no draw in a competitive debating!

c. Composite and swing teams winning (or losing) debates will be marked, tabulated, and matched for subsequent rounds in the usual way.

d. Composite and swing teams will not be considered as potentially breaking teams.

e. Speakers from composite or swing teams will not be eligible to become best speakers of the competition.

f. Marks shall be awarded to speakers based on the following:

i. An ‘average’ substantive speech shall be awarded

Matter : 30/40

Manner : 30/40

Method : 15/20

Total : 75/100

ii. Downwards from this average, the worst speech in the history of debating would still get 69 or 70/100.

iii. Upwards from this average, the best speech in the history of debating would only get 80 or 81/100.

iv. Reply speeches are to be marked out of total of 50 marks (or 100/2)

v. An ‘average’ reply speech shall be awarded

Matter : 15/20

Manner : 15/20

Method : 7,5/10

Total : 37,5/50

k. The ‘average’ mark for an ‘average team’ is therefore:

75+75+75+37,5=262,5

l. The weak low is therefore: 70+70+70+35=245.

m. The strong high is therefore: 80+80+80+40=280.

n. Half marks cannot be awarded for constructive speeches but may result from the division of a reply speech mark.

o. A possible mark spread of 35 points is unacceptable for the purpose of power match tabulation. Therefore, adjudicator must determine, at the conclusion of a debate:

i. Whether the standard of the debate was average, higher than average of lower than average; and

ii. Whether the margin of win/loss was (subjective) close, clear or thrashing.

p. Adjudicator must manipulate marks accordingly to reflect their perception of the standard of the debate and the winning margin, by the following the maximum mark differentials (between the total marks of the two teams) of:

Close Win = 0,5 points to 3,5 points

Clear Win = 4 to 8,5 points

Overwhelming = 9 to 12 points

NO MARGIN BEYOND 12 IS PERMITTED.

PENALTIES

a. Teams forfeited from a round of debate will lose the debate by the widest possible margin. The opposing team in such a case will win the debate and be given the mean average individual and team score for all teams in that particular round.

b. A team forfeited TWICE during the preliminary rounds will be disqualified from the competition.

c. Any violations of the provisions in this rule are subject to penalties at the discretion of the committee.

d. Penalties may include deduction of victory points, margin points, individual scores, team scores, or disqualification.

ALSA LOCAL CHAPTER UNIVERSITAS PADJADJARAN

2009-01-19T07:36:00.000-08:00

SEJARAH ALSA LC UNPAD

ALSA LC Universitas Padjadjaran berdiri pada waktu yang sama dengan ALSA NC Indonesia yaitu pada tahun 1989. Ketika itu beberapa mahasiswa FH Unpad yang tergabung dalam senat mahasiswa FH Unpad ditawari untuk mengikuti pertemuan dengan mahasiswa hukum tingkat ASEAN untuk membentuk suatu wadah mahasiswa hukum tingkat ASEAN dengan bendera ALSA (Asean Law Students’ Association).

Sekembalinya beberapa mahasiswa FH Unpad tersebut, mereka kemudian membentuk ALSA di universitas masing-masing. Dari sinilah ALSA LC Unpad terbentuk.

ALSA LC Unpad walaupun merupakan bagian dari organisasi ALSA secara keseluruhan tetapi memiliki sifat sendiri sebagai organisasi, yaitu:
1. Tujuan, Modal Dasar, Faktor Dominan termaktub dalam Anggaran Rumah Tangga ALSA LC Unpad.
2. Struktur Pengurus, Badan Kelengkapan, dan Dana juga terdapat dalam Anggaran Rumah Tangga ALSA LC Unpad. Misalnya: Director, Internal Affairs, External Affairs, Human Recources Development.
3. Tempat dan Kedudukan ALSA LC Unpad juga ada dalam lingkungan FH Unpad walaupun secara fisik ALSA LC Unpad belum memiliki ruangan atau tempat tersendiri (menjadi satu dalam ruangan BEM FH Unpad).
4. Rules, ALSA LC Unpad juga memiliki seperangkat peraturan yang mengikat, yaitu Anggaran Rumah Tangga ALSA LC Unpad yang dirubah setiap satu tahun sekali dalam Musyawarah Lokal ALSA LC Unpad. ART ini merupakan dasar bagi pengurus ALSA LC Unpad dalam menjalankan kepengurusannya.
5. Anggota, dalam hal ini adalah Mahasiswa Fakultas Hukum Unpad yang mendaftar menjadi anggota ALSA.
6. Kegiatan, terdiri dari English Debate Club, Discussion Group, Recruitment Day, ALSA Camp, Munas, Pramunas, MootCourt dan masih banyak lagi.

Perjalanan ALSA LC Unpad tidak selalu tanpa hambatan. Hambatan yang utama adalah masalah sumber daya manusia. Dari awal berdirinya bahkan anggota ALSA LC Unpad sempat hanya beranggotakan sekitar 7 orang. Kerja keras dan juga kemauan yang tinggi dari pendahulu-pendahulu kami ini sekarang telah membuahkan hasil yang sedang kami tuai bersama saat ini.
Dalam 3 tahun terakhir, jumlah anggota ALSA LC Unpad semakin meningkat. Hal ini terbukti dari banyaknya mahasiswa baru yang mendaftar menjadi anggota ALSA setiap tahunnya. Dengan begitu diharapkan ALSA Unpad dapat terus menjadi wadah bagi pengembangan kualitas dari anggotanya sebagai modal dasar dan menjadikan anggota ALSA LC Unpad yang terbaik bagi bangsa, Negara, almamater dan terutama bagi dirinya sendiri.
