Our Resources

Ethics bowl can be difficult! We understand. Hopefully, our resources can help. We have:

  • Case Packet — What competitions will be on, and what teams practice with during the semester.

  • Ethics Bowl Slides — a slide deck we have created that could be helpful as a starting point (includes our breakdown of the three main ethical theories!).

  • Case Breakdowns — available upon request!
