I heard this book was good, unfortunately it has been about three months since I ordered it from this place and I still have not been sent my order. If you want to get this book in time for finals, I would suggest thinking twice before ordering it here.

The book is useful, but it’s too small. I didn’t see a size listed. This book is only 7″by 5″. It makes the exhibits nearly impossible to read without a magnifying glass.

Ok, so I’m a little biased since professor Barron was my con law prof., but this book is great. It’s a nutshell, so don’t expect a whole lot of depth, but it does a great job of boiling down the basic holdings of cases and tying them together with a narrative. It was almost as handy as my outline during the exam.

Although the Constitutional Law in a Nutshell is helpful, I got a lot more out of the Constitutional Analysis in a Nutshell book when preparing for my Con Law final. For those on a tight budget who don’t want to spring for both books, I’d say spend your money on Constitutional Analysis, rather than this one. Use the case book and the analysis book for best results.

I was pretty disappointed with this book… The book was not edited… The book was plagued with textual errors and poor structure… the explanations weren’t helpful…
I’m a procrastinor myself, but seriously… just do the work and read Chemerinsky… he knows what he’s talking about and knows how to explain it effectly…
