There has been a slight change to our regularly-scheduled program (a change for the better). We will be welcoming two guests to present this time.
The election is just around the corner, and we’re already buried under an avalanche of lawsuits. What can we expect in the last weeks before the election? And will 2024 be a repeat of 2020? (Yes, it absolutely will.) Liz Dye and Andrew Torrez are lawyers who break down the intersection of law and politics on the Law and Chaos podcast and twice-weekly newsletter. They’ll discuss both pending litigation designed to suppress voter turnout, disenfranchise voters, and toss out actual votes, as well as what sort of post-election chaos we can expect if Trump loses.
Liz Dye is a legal journalist who started Law and Chaos to “lawsplain” the current political moment to laymen. She is a columnist at Above the Law and a presenter on the Legal Eagle YouTube channel.
Andrew Torrez has been practicing law for three decades and has his own firm in Towson representing small businesses. He graduated from Harvard Law School in 1997 and began legal podcasting in 2016.
We will be meeting at Sammy’s Trattoria (1200 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21201).

Mark your calendars for Thursday, March 20 at 6:00 p.m. as Wrangler Eric Easton presents on the The Life of Dudley Field Malone.
Dudley Field Malone was a dynamic early 20th-century figure—an eloquent orator, savvy political operative, and sought-after lawyer involved in cases spanning civil liberties, high-profile murders, and celebrity divorces. A product of Tammany Hall, he rose to prominence as a close ally of President Woodrow Wilson, serving as Assistant Secretary of State and Collector of the Port of New York, before breaking with Wilson over women’s suffrage. Malone defended figures like John Scopes in the “Monkey Trial,” suffragist Alice Paul, and Soviet envoy Ludwig Martens, while also representing sports icons and mingling with Hollywood celebrities. His flamboyant life included appearances in gossip columns and films, but also scandals, financial troubles, and a troubled personal life, marked by divorce, abuse allegations, and later opposition to the New Deal and WWII involvement. He died in 1950, leaving behind only a small unpaid salary claim, but his legacy endures, even inspiring a song in the Broadway musical Suffs.
We’ll be meeting at Sammy’s Trattoria in Mount Vernon, located at 1200 N Charles St, Baltimore, MD 21201.
Kindly RSVP by March 17—we hope to see you there!
