According to lawyers like LegalEagle, this movie is basically shown in Law School as an example. Very accurate example of verbiage and proceedings

You know when filming the night in the woods they meant for Vinny to get a good nights sleep but an owl showed up when shooting and they thought it was too perfect to pass up. 😂

As a former DA and someone who taught trial advocacy in law school, this movie is one of Hollywood's best representations of how a courtroom works in a criminal proceeding. Does that mean it's completely accurate? Hell no, they get lots of things wrong, taking liberties where they need to for the movie - and I have no problem with that cuz it's an effin awesome movie. But they get a lot right too.

One of the things I love about that final courtroom scene is that, as smart as Lisa is about cars, so is Vinny-he knew that something was up when he saw the photo of the tire tracks and knew exactly what she would also notice when he made her actually look at them closely. He does what every good attorney knows to do, never ask a question of a witness for which you don’t already know the answer.

Think about the fact that this movie was able to get the viewer so invested and it translated the (very high) stakes involved so well, all without having a "bad guy". Every character is just faithfully doing their job or reporting what they perceived (even if they were ultimately shown to be mistaken). It would have been easy (but lazy) for the writers to cram some convoluted plot about how the residents of this town were knowingly railroading these two kids into the electric chair. Instead, they made it more realistic (all characters acting honestly and sincerely) while maintaining an amazing amount of entertainment value. That's great writing.

As far as lawyers as concerned, they will tell you this movie is by far the most accurate portrayal of legal procedure and court strategy.

Your face when the public defender started stuttering had me rolling lol

With respect to your question regarding how accurate the court portrayal is in this movie, it's worth pointing out that the youtube channel Legal Eagle did a reaction to this movie where they gave it a grade for 'Legal Realism'.

Fred Gwynne who played the judge was probably best known for playing Herman Munster in The Munsters as well as staring in the original Pet Cemetery. Also stood out in The Boy Who Could Fly.

Every My Cousin Vinny reaction I’ve seen is also a “watch someone fall in love with Marisa Tomei” video.

You know I've probably seen this movie a half hundred times over my life but it's not until watching this reaction and you pointing it out that I noticed the great camera angles. That's why I love watching reactions, you can genuinely learn something new about your favorite movies by watching with somebody else's eyes.

The tilted camera angle is called "Dutch angle." It was pioneered by the German expressionists in the early days of cinema. The most famous example is in The Third Man.
