Also one of the best examples of actual lawyering in movies. Much more accurate than most legal thriller type of movies. That's mostly because being a lawyer is actually really boring. I've read that there are law professors will use the courtroom scenes in My Cousin Vinny to teach the rules of evidence.

I've also heard that it's more accurate than most. And that serves the comedy well.

Lane Smith and Fred Gwynne were both brilliant in that movie. Smith’s condescending theatricality was gold.
