In a bid to enhance legal education, one New York City judge has made the move from the bench to the App Store. New York City Civil Court Judge Josh Hanshaft recently developed and launched My BarTunes, an app that pairs core law school subjects to age-old nursery rhymes to assist law students studying for the bar exam. 

My BarTunes focuses on legal concepts taught in first-year law schools’ evidence, contracts, constitutional law, real property, civil procedure, criminal law and torts courses, and matches them to the melodies of nursery rhymes including “Three Blind Mouse” and “The Farmer in the Dell.” Hanshaft said he combined his love of music and 20-plus years as an attorney and judge to help address the intense preparation needed to pass the bar exam and common first year-law school courses.
