Jersey Urban Debate League
Developing Global Leaders at Home

Middle Grade Conference

The middle grades conference is an exploding group. The Jersey Urban Debate League has the most successful middle grades conference in the nation with well over 200 participants at any one of our middle grades tournaments.

High School Conference

The high school conference is the founding conference for the Jersey Urban Debate League. This league makes it possible to have a middle grades conference because we draw on the high schoolers to judge our middle grades tournaments. The high school conference also boasts the most national recognition.

Rutgers Newark Debate

The Jersey Urband Debate League in collaboration with Rutgers Newark University has established the Rutgers Newark Debate Team. We've found quick success here by giving our JUDL high school seniors a local college debate team to compete on, but it has also attracted talent from outside of the JUDL high school conference.
