Currently, It is a competition held on UNC Charlotte's campus for high schools students where teams debate each other based on an ethical case study presented the evening before. The case focuses on ethical issues in business, work life, and personal life. The debates are moderated and judged and prizes are awarded at the conclusion of the day.
