Prestigious law professor Kate Shaw and her husband Chris Hayes anchored the afternoon’s final panel, which navigated the thorny legal questions that might come into play on and before Election Night.

MSNBC’s BAM takeover carried on into the evening hours, with Ari Melber, Stephanie Ruhle, Lawrence O’Donnell and, of course, Rachel Maddow appearing onstage during the two-hour evening session. Highlights from both programs will air as part of a primetime special premiering Sept. 14 at 9 p.m. ET.
Maddow was also in the house for one of three screenings of the documentary From Russia with Lev, which hails from her Surprise Inside production company. Already acquired by MSNBC Films, the movie will embark on a cross-country tour ahead of its network debut later this month.
