The Bay Area Urban Debate League (BAUDL) works with Bay Area public school districts to make competitive policy debate available to every public high school student. BAUDL believes that debate increases student academic performance, enriches and expands their college and career opportunities, and provides the intellectual and networking tools for youth to thrive as active, responsible leaders in their communities.

Law firms from around the Bay Area compete to see who can raise the most money to benefit BAUDL students during the annual Champions of Diversity fundraiser. If your firm would like to take part in the 2021 competition please send an email to jfeldman@baudl.org
