Study Songs helps law students retain information more easily than with conventional study methods. With 80 original songs and almost 1,500 clickable terms, students are able to memorize material for the multi-state bar exam simply by listening to music. All songs, terms and explanations were written by lawyers who have graduated from Ivy League institutions. Our unique blend of melody and study content facilitates memorization while giving students the flexibility to study at their leisure or on the go. As we like to say, "Melody to Memory". Music has been a key study aid throughout our entire lives, beginning with a presence in nursery rhymes and mathematics lessons. Content cloaked in melody naturally becomes ingrained in our memories. Upon hearing an old tune on the radio, we are able to effortlessly sing along. In applying melody, this app covers all of the content that appears on the seven multi-state exam topics, including the newly added Civil Procedure subject. The songs are organized by album according to bar exam subject. Civil Procedure (10 songs) Torts (13 songs) Property (13 songs) Constitutional Law (10 songs) Contracts (10 songs) Evidence (8 songs) Criminal Law (8 songs) Criminal Procedure (8 songs) (The exam's Criminal Law topic has been placed in two albums) Each song comes with a full set of lyrics and explanations for key terms that are crucial to the exam. Give us a try and let us know what you think. Three free songs are waiting for you in your Study Hall! Happy studying, and remember “Melody to Memory!”
