December 2019 Meeting
2019-12-12 18:00 - 21:00 | 14 WEST HAMILTON STREET CLUB, 14 W Hamilton Street, Baltimore, MD, 21201, United States
Although our December meeting is not scheduled on the third Thursday of the month (Christmas is too near) and the Ravens are playing in town, we hope that many of you will join us for our last meeting of 2019 to celebrate the holiday season.
Our guest speaker this month is John J. Connolly, partner at Zuckerman Spaeder LLP.

On November 21, 2019, Mr. Connolly was invited by the BABC Historical Committee and the Library Company of the Baltimore Bar to give his talk on Racism and the Roots of the Maryland Constitution. Because of our prior commitment to our great organization, we were not able to attend. Mr. Connolly has, therefore, graciously agreed to give a repeated rendition of his talk to our illustrious group.
The current Maryland Constitution was drafted and ratified in 1867, two years after the Civil War ended and only three years after the prior Maryland Constitution was ratified. The 1867 Constitution, which survives in amended form today, was drafted by 118 white men, all members of the Southern-leaning Democratic party. Racial issues permeated the Convention but did not really divide it; the most illuminating debates occurred between the delegates and the Republican press that covered the Convention. The most prominent of these newspapers was the Baltimore American and Commercial Advertiser, which published daily news reports of Convention business in one column and thunderous editorials promoting civil rights in the next. Mr. Connolly will discuss how the Convention delegates addressed and resolved four racial issues (slavery and compensation for emancipation; manhood suffrage; competence to testify; and public education), how the American reacted, and what happened to the blatantly (and sometimes subtly) racist provisions of the 1867 Constitution.
Please RSVP by December by Friday, December 6 to allow us to plan a wonderful holiday meal! ***Be sure to indicate any food restrictions.

Our next meeting is on Thursday, November 21, 2019. Wrangler & Prof. Emeritus of Law Eric Easton will discuss his recent trip to Kosovo as part of the Fullbright Specialist Program.
Last month, Prof. Easton spent two weeks in Kosovo where he was a guest lecturer in the Journalism Department of the University of Prishtina. His talk focused on media literacy as well as the changes in journalism brought about by the digital revolution, including “fake news.” He also appeared on the morning show of Kosovo tv channel T7 as part of the Global Media and Information Literacy Week. (see for yourselves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWj7mDOX3BU&app=desktop).

October 2019 Meeting
2019-10-24 18:00 - 21:30 | 14 WEST HAMILTON STREET CLUB, 14 W Hamilton Street, Baltimore, MD, 21201, United States
Join us on Thursday, October 24, 2019 for our first meeting of the 2019-2020 term to learn about:
Maryland’s Only Marriage Lawyer: Old Laws and Weird Writs
In March, Joe Dudek joined the Courts and Judicial Affairs Division of the Attorney General’s Office. The four-lawyer division advises and defends the State’s courts, judges, circuit court clerks, registers of wills, quasi-judicial executive agencies, and court-specific ethics commissions. He will talk on the oddest parts of that assignment—the comically complicated regulation of Maryland marriage licenses, the original jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals, and changes affecting public access to court records.
Registration for dinner will close on Monday, October 21, 2019 @ 5:00 pm.
***Please indicate any food restrictions. To add a guest, repeat the registration process.
