The Negative Rebuttal is Negative's second and last of a Lincoln-Douglas debate round. This speech is to 6 minutes, in which the Negative side must not only refute the Affirmative's case, but also Negative must also address any arguments brought against his case in the first Affirmative Rebuttal.

This speech is the Negative's last chance to create a lasting impression onto the judge and therefore is a crucial speech for Negative. The Negative is allowed to use up any remaining prep time before speaking. The Negative has the responsibility to respond to all arguments brought up by the Affirmative.
