Policy Debate is also called Cross Examination Debate by some people. I will stick with Policy, because that is what it is all about; creating a policy and countering with a different policy. In most basic terms, that is what Policy is.

With that said, it can be much, much more complicated. With that said, Debate Central has a fantastic page with TONS of resources for Policy Debate. Some of the articles are not specific to just policy.


The Code of the Debater is a text by Alfred Snider on how to do policy debate. It is long, 222 pages, but worth the read.
