Our Sponsors

A prize is kindly donated to the Debate by the Glasgow Bar Association, which has supported the tournament since 2006.

The Glasgow Bar Association is the representative body for the legal profession in the west of Scotland, although membership is open to all members of the legal profession throughout Scotland. Student membership is also available to those studying law, as long as their place of study or residence is within the territorial jurisdiction of Glasgow Sheriff Court. The Association promotes, represents and protects the rights and interests of its members in the practice of law.

"We are keen to support debating, as it is the lifeblood of advocacy skills that are practised daily in courts the length and breadth of our country. Preparing the background of the subject matter you are then presenting and the ability to react as a debate unfolds are key skills, which underpins the work we do. We never cease to be surprised by the enthusiasm, hard work and skills of the debaters and the team effort by those in families and education who support this vital thread. We are grateful to those whose hard work makes these events happen. The Executive Committee of the Glasgow Bar Association is delighted to continue to support these events."

We are always looking for more support to ensure we can continue to expand and develop our debating tournament. Sponsoring the debate is a fantastic way to support social mobility and the development of Scotland's young people.
