Good Will to Men (Columbia Pictures 1955)
- https://youtu.be/2dvBm_r8x4w
A group of young mice is in the ruins of a church, practicing singing for an upcoming service. After singing an adulterated version of "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," the mice wonder about the last line, "Good will to men." One of them asks the chorus master, an old mouse, "What are men?" The old mouse explains that they all killed each other off by building bigger and more destructive weapons, first guns, then missiles, then bombs.

- Additional free CLEs and educational opportunities
For non-attorneys:
- A meaningful opportunity to serve the public and the legal system

Know someone who would be a good fit?
Please share this with anyone you think would make a strong public member. Business professionals, retirees and community leaders often serve well in this role.
How to apply
Applications are available at https://www.njcourts.gov/sites/default/files/forms/12967_oae_vol_app.pdf and are due by Friday, May 1, 2026.
