Department of Justice praises debate project
The Computer Assisted Debate Project was recognized recently by the U.S. Department of Justice as one of five programs that “work” to help kids in its national “Weed and Seed” initiative.

CAD, which provides a challenging and engaging after-school learning experience for at-risk middle school students living in Atlanta Housing Authority communities, is a program of the National Debate Project, which Emory supports with students and faculty from the Barkley Forum.

Weed and Seed, a community-based strategy sponsored by the Department of Justice, is a comprehensive multi-agency approach to law enforcement, crime prevention and community revitalization.
