ABOUT: The Bulletin is a tri-annual forensic magazine publication with news, articles and advertisements from and to those in the forensic world in the United States. "The Bulletin" was the original name of the now-famous National Forensic League magazine Rostrum. This publication, put together by Dynasty Debate, sets out to provide similar information like that in the monthly issues of Rostrum but as an alternative that seeks to further enhance the breadth, depth and importance of forensics in secondary and higher education. The Bulletin is published online at Dynasty Debate and elsewhere in other blogs for free viewing by any persons. It is our hope that The Bulletin will impact both those inside and outside the forensic community and enhance the pedagogical importance of debate.
