English term or phrase: "forensics team"

Hola de nuevo. Soy yo otra vez con mi libro.
Esta vez se trata de un chico de catorce años al que lo han incluido en el "Forensics Team" de la escuela. Y no tengo la más remota idea de qué es eso. Mi marido dice que es un equipo de debate, que es muy común pero no sé cómo se llamaría una cosa así en castellano, yo jamás oí de nada parecido en escuelas de habla hispana. ¿Equipo de debate? ¿Qué es eso? y ¿es la traducción correcta de un "forensics team" escolar?

Contexto:

"They asked me to be an alternate for the Forensics team. This is the permission slip for the International Schools Debate Tournament. They already have a team, since last spring, and they’re all prepared. It’s on nuclear proliferation and whether all countries have a right to it. They want me there because I can speak on it unprepared, they said."

Explanation:
Hola, es muy corriente ahora en los sitios privados, sobre todo:

"Los debatientes debían responder a la pregunta: ¿Deben ser los colegiales los responsables de acabar con las Novatadas?, bajo el formato de debate clásico de presentaciones y refutaciones."
