COGblog Cases of the Week
Every Saturday leading up to the release of COG, the COGblog publishes a free throw-together 1AC and backup for either the Stoa or NCFCA resolution. The complete lists of past year's cases are below; for this year's cases, see the COGblog. (Please note: these cases do not undergo any sort of editorial review and don't generally have a lot of time put into them. As such, they are not representative of the contents of COG 2012; take them or leave them.)
