Frosh and opponent Craig Wolf debated at the University of Maryland Law School after Frosh declined an invitation to a televised debate. Wolf attacked Frosh for focusing on national issues instead of Maryland crime, particularly crime in Baltimore. Frosh said he had convicted hundreds of the most dangerous people in Maryland, including drug traffickers and gang members. Wolf also took aim at Frosh's lawsuits against Trump, saying that Frosh was taking resources which should be used to promote public safety in Maryland, and instead using them to sue the Federal Government. Frosh said that he was defending affordable health care and protecting endangered species from offshore drilling.{{cite news|url=https://wtop.com/local-politics-elections-news/2018/10/frosh-wolf-get-personal-in-highly-charged-law-school-debate/|title=Frosh, Wolf get personal in highly-charged law school debate|first=Bruce |last=DePuyt|date=October 18, 2018|work=WTOP news}}{{cite news |url=https://www.baltimoresun.com/politics/bs-md-ag-debates-20180914-story.html |title=In Maryland attorney general race, a debate over debates |first=Luke |last=Broadwater |work=The Baltimore Sun |date=September 14, 2018}}
