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 can attest to that. My Criminal Procedure professor showed us the scene when Vinny gets back from hunting, proud that he was able to finagle the prosecutor's files, and Mona tells him that he has to give it to him. "It's called disclosure, Ya d*ckhead."

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