November/December Briefs Released Tomorrow (10/29)!
I am excited to announce that our November/December briefs have been completed, and we will be emailing them out tomorrow. As with our September/October briefs these will be completely free of charge. To get the briefs sign up at premierdebate.com/briefs and they will be in your inbox tomorrow. I want to personally and publicly thank Bob Overing for overseeing the creation of the briefs as well as cutting an enormous amount of evidence. Because of his efforts we are able to say with pride that our briefs contain more cards than any of our competitor’s briefs. In addition to the huge amount of evidence contained in the briefs every single card has been underlined and sorted according to how it should be used in a round. If you appreciate the service or have used any of our briefs please show your appreciation by liking Premier Debate on Facebook, following @premierdebate on twitter, or leaving a comment here.
Regards,
John Scoggin
Director, Premier Debate

Hi, I’ve been trying to copy cards from the briefs and paste them into my cases, and every time I do, the formatting of the cards becomes so skewed that it’s impossible to read them and difficult to re-format them. Is there any way to fix this? I’m using Adobe Reader to read the briefs, by the way.
Jeremy,
What I usually do is copy the cards and paste them into the search bar of the browser (this formats them), then I hit control x and paste from the browser into into my actual case.
Hope this helps!
Hey Jeremy – in case you didn’t know, these briefs are formatted in verbatim, which is a Microsoft Word template that’s designed for debate. You can download verbatim for free here:

In case you don’t want to do that, you can right click “paste special” and select unformatted to remove the formatting from the cards.
We have now released a .doc Verbatim formatted version of the briefs at premierdebate.com/briefs
If you missed the subscription e-mail or had trouble with the pdf, please download with the link on that page.
