This probably is not quite what you're looking for, but I have listed debating techniques:

Judges generally score the speakers looking at this criteria:

Content / Matter - What the debaters say, their arguments and evidence, the relevance of their arguments.

Style / Manner - How the debaters speak, including the language and tone used.

Strategy / Method - The structure of the speech, the clarity and responding to other's arguments.

SKILLS:

Your points must be relevant to the topic.

Provide evidence whenever you can and not your personal opinion.

You must put aside your personal views and remain objective when you debate so your argument remains logical. You can be passionate about a topic but interest can turn into aggression and passion can turn into upset.

Consider the audience's attention span - make it interesting, for example, don't just present lots of complicated statistics.

Use rhetoric to persuade - consider using the three pillars of rhetoric:

Ethos - the ethical appeal

Pathos - the emotional appeal

Logos - the logical appeal

Use notes but keep them brief and well organized. Use a different piece of paper for rebuttals.

Similar to looking at conclusions to create rebuttals, think comparatively by asking yourself "How does my plan compare to what's happening now/what would happen in the world if the other team won?" You can win the debate if you can make comparative claims about why your arguments matter more than the other team.

Only tell jokes if you're naturally good at it otherwise this can backfire.

Flexibility is important because you might get allocated the side of the argument you don't agree with. You'll have to work hard to overcome your views. Also use this insight to think of the potential arguments you might make and then plan for counter arguments.

Voice

Speak clearly and concisely.

You must talk fast enough to have the time to deliver your speech but slow enough so you can be understood.

Project your voice to the back of the room.

Incorporate pauses.

Emphasize important words and vary your tone appropriately.

Confidence

Have a relaxed pose and posture.

Avoid filler words.

Know your material.

Emphasize using gestures.

Maintain eye contact with the audience.

Language

Keep your language simple to avoid confusion.

Refer to the opposite side as: "My opponent".

When making a rebuttal say: "My opponent said..., however..."

Don't exaggerate - avoid the words "never" or "always" etc.

Avoid saying that a speaker "is wrong", instead say that "your idea is mistaken".

What to avoid

Falsifying, making up or altering evidence.

Attacking a speaker rather than an idea.

Acting aggressively or offensively towards debaters, judges, audience etc.

Interrupting other debaters as this can suggest that your argument isn't very strong.

Disagreeing with facts or obvious truths.

There are common flaws you can look for to form a rebuttal:

1. False dichotomy

2. Assertion

3. Morally flawed

4. Correlation rather than causation

5. Failure to deliver promises

6. Straw man

7. Contradiction

8. Compare the conclusion to reality

Answer:

Explanation:

Appeal:

An appeal is the process of making a formal request to a higher (appellate) court to reverse a lower court’s decision after the lower court has made a final judgment or ruling. Often, the losing party files an appeal with the higher court; this begins the appellate review process. An appellate court reviews the facts as presented in the trial, and no other evidence is considered in making an appellate decision. The main purpose of an appeal is to review the legal decisions made at the trial court level.

Appellant:

An appellant is the party to a lawsuit who is seeking an appeal from a lower court decision. The appellant is typically the party who lost at the trial court level. The appellant must file a notice of appeal and offer a legal brief to the appellate court, putting forth its legal arguments and its legal basis for the appeal.

Appellee:

An appellee is the party who wins the judgment at the trial court level. The appellee must respond to the appellant’s legal arguments by filing a legal brief and appear in court, if necessary, to argue to the appellate court why the lower court decision should not be disturbed.

Harmless error:

Harmless error is an error allegedly made by a lower court judge that an appellate court finds insufficient to alter or amend the lower court’s decision. The error is deemed “harmless” because reconsideration of the alleged error would have no bearing on the outcome of the lower court’s decision. An example of a harmless error would be a technical error made by the lower court that, under the applicable law, was improperly decided; yet, the remaining evidence substantially supports the original judgment.

Injunction:

An injunction is an order issued by the court which orders a party to do something or prohibits the party from doing something. An injunction may be proper when a party may be harmed by another party’s threatened actions.

Interlocutory appeal:

An interlocutory appeal is a type of appeal that seeks the review of a temporary order (such as an injunction) that is related to a pending lawsuit. An interlocutory appeal is filed and heard while the underlying action is still proceeding at the trial court level.

Mandamus:

A mandamus action is an order issued by a court that orders a governmental body or public agency to perform an act required by law. Often, a mandamus action is sought when a governmental body or public agency fails or refuses to act under an applicable law.

Writ of certiorari:

A writ of certiorari is a type of judicial order from an upper level court to a lower court (for example, the U.S. Supreme Court to a U.S. Court of Appeal) to send the court record and related documents of a particular case to the higher court for its review. A writ of certiorari is typically associated with the review of lower court decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court or state supreme courts. The appealing party must file a writ of certiorari (also sometimes referred to in short hand as “cert”) to the higher court, which may agree to review the lower court's decision ("granting certiorari") or may refuse to review the lower court's decision ("denying certiorari").
