Institute+Evidence+policy

Evidence used in the tournaments is limited to that compiled while at the Institute; this would include evidence produced by the lab and that gathered during the tournament from the papers, an online search, or a fast trip to the library, etc. Backfiles, personal files, evidence from other programs this summer, and briefs from other Dartmouth labs are not to be used. Labs should not attempt to circumvent this by running previous files through for photocopying All briefs produced by the labs may contain some previously accumulated evidence, but on the whole the briefs must be substantially improved and revised, and be primarily new evidence.
