SO - CP - EU PlanTournament: Greenhill Fall Classic | Round: 1 | Opponent: Harvard Westlake IC | Judge: Alex Dumas Counterplan Text: The member nations of the WTO should implement the EU's plan to:1~ Ensure COVID-19 vaccines, treatments, and components can cross borders freely;2~ Encourage producers to expand their production and keep vaccines at an affordable price for countries most in need;3~ Facilitate preexisting compulsory licensing within the TRIPS Agreement.It solves the affFerrer 21 ~Miriam GARCIA FERRER, 4 June 2021, "EU proposes a strong multilateral trade response to the COVID-19 pandemic," https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_21_2801~~ The preempt doesn't solve, it says the procedure of flexibilities and licnensing are burdensome but we fiat the CP so states do them immedietly.

SO - CP - EU Trade SecretsTournament: Greenhill Fall Classic | Round: 3 | Opponent: Harker DS | Judge: Matt Moorhead CP text: The European Union ought to reduce trade secret protections for medicines by requiring that plaintiffs prove that the acquisition, use, and disclosure of the trade secret did not pertain to revealing misconduct, wrongdoing, or illegal activity, or to protecting the general public interest.The law they are criticizing is a law passed by the EU parliament. Hold them to their advocacy anything else justifies infintie shiftiness.

Plan flaw + solvency deficit. Only the EU can negotiate trade rules so even if the national govs passed the plan it wouldn't do anything. Only the EU has the power | 9/18/21 |

SO - NC - DeterminismTournament: Greenhill Fall Classic | Round: 1 | Opponent: Harvard Westlake IC | Judge: Alex Dumas Permissibility/PresumptionPermissibility and presumption Negate,1~ Text – Ought is defined as expressing obligation which means absent a proactive obligation you vote neg since the aff can't prove an obligation. O/W since text is the only thing we have access to prior to the round.2~ Safety – It's ethically safer to presume the squo since we know what the squo is but we can't know whether the aff will be good or not if ethics are incoherent.3~ Real world – Policymakers don't pass policies they aren't sure about, they shelve them for later.FramingThe standard is consistency with determinism.1~ Biology – Every organism has controlled responses to stimuli because of its inherited genes and environment. That applies to humans, i.e. when we cut onions we cry.2~ Nature – the universe is infinite, that justifies determinism since any individual act is too small to alter the fate of the universe, Horne 1Herman H. Horne, 1912, "The Arguments for Determinism", Excerpt from Free Will and Human Responsibility: A Philosophical Argument, https://web.csulb.edu/~~cwallis/100/articles/arguments_for_determinism.html 3~ Arbitrariness – if determinism is false then you imply that human acts are random since they aren't based on any previous cause. Ethics can't be arbitrary because otherwise it wouldn't guide action since anything is permissible.4~ The best neuroscientific, psychological, and medical evidence agrees, Lavazza 16Andrea Lavazza, Neuroethics, Centro Universitario Internazionale, Arezzo, Italy, Free Will and Neuroscience: From Explaining Freedom Away to New Ways of Operationalizing and Measuring It, 2016, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4887467/ /recut from AHS PB 5~ Molecular Physics proves we are just constructs of molecules, Coyne 12Jerry Coyne, ~Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolution at The University of Chicago~, "Why You Don't Really Have Free Will," USAToday, January 1st, 2012. Recut from SM Offense1~ Determinism states obligatory responsibility doesn't exist because everything is predetermined so the aff can't prescribe action.2~ The concept of intellectual property is incoherent, you can't reduce something that doesn't exist, Risser 10~Rita Risser, July 2010, "Creative Determinism and the Claim to Intellectual Property on JSTOR", No Publication, https://www.jstor.org/stable/27904152, date accessed 9-12-2021~ Lex AT | 9/18/21 |
SO - T - OspecTournament: Greenhill Fall Classic | Round: 3 | Opponent: Harker DS | Judge: Matt Moorhead Interpretation: The aff can specify a subset of member nations or iP protections but not both.Violation:1~ Limits – they can cherry pick any country from the China to Russia to Soko and choose any type of IP, secondary patents, orphan drugs, etc. which probably consists of hundreds of fringe affs. Limits outweighs in the context of this tournament – we've had the topic for literally 17 days, it's unreasonable to expect negatives to be prepared for obscure affs.2~ TVA – specify either a state or a subset of IP not both or the aff as an advantage under a whole res aff. Solves both of our offense.3~ Reject the 1ar's PICs argument – it leads to absurd conclusions that since the neg could potentially be abusive the aff is justified in reading an abusive aff that we cannot prepare for, which leads to infinite abuse. Also It's untrue in the context of this shell because you can still defend a plan aff and exclude most pics | 9/18/21 |

SO - T - WTOTournament: Greenhill Fall Classic | Round: 3 | Opponent: Harker DS | Judge: Matt Moorhead Interpretation: Debaters must defend all member nations pass the planTRIPS is normal means for the plan,World Trade Organization, xx-xx-xxxx, "TRIPS — Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights" No Publication, https://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/trips_e/trips_e.htm AT Violation:1~ TRIPS is standardized for all member nations,World Trade Organization, xx-xx-xxxx, "Frequently asked questions about TRIPS ~ trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights ~ in the WTO" No Publication, https://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/trips_e/tripfq_e.htm AT 2~ Logic - Member nations is one body, if 2 people in congress went out for lunch you wouldn't say congress went out for lunch. Means the aff has to defend all nations. Logic owStandards:A~ Limits – you explode limtis since there are thousands of permutations of countries you could defend and you arbitrarily sever from the topic which justifies reading any non-T aff.B~ Topic ed - you force debates about hypotheticals that aren't grounded in reality. Outweighs on portability since it impacts us in the real world and theres no benefit to debating an aff that can't exist.Fairness – debate is a competitive activity that requires fairness for objective evaluation. Outweighs because it's the only intrinsic part of debate.Drop the debater – because you skewed the entire round.Competing interps – a~ reasonability is arbitrary and encourages judge intervention since there's no clear norm. b~ it creates a race to the top so we set the best normsNo RVIs – a) RVIs incentivize baiting T and prepping it out which leads to maximally abusive practices and creates a chilling effect where people don't check real abuse. B) logic – you shouldn't win by proving you're topicalT before 1AR theory – A) Norms – we only have a couple months to set T norms but can set 1AR theory norms any time B) Magnitude – it impacts a larger portion of the round since the aff advocacy determines every speech after it | 9/18/21 |
