Professor Baker Publishes New Edition of his Popular Nutshell

Professor Thomas E. Baker has published a new edition of his popular book CONSTITUTIONAL LAW IN A NUTSHELL (4th ed. 2025). “I am proud of this not-so-little (700 pages) book. I updated the coverage to include the latest SCOTUS decisions. I added new diagrams and illustrations to describe recent dramatic Roberts Court overrulings and new pathbreaking decisions about abortion, affirmative action, the second amendment, freedom of speech, administrative agency autonomy, the internet, and presidential immunity.” West Publishing describes Baker’s book as “a paperback course in American Constitutional Law . . . your own personal tutor.” Dean Antony Page observed, “Professor Baker’s remarkable book transforms the complexity of U.S. Constitutional Law into an accessible, illuminating guide. What FIU College of Law students have long appreciated firsthand through his in-person instruction can now be experienced by law students nationwide.”
