In honor of the 20th anniversary of the movie My Cousin Vinny, Abnormal Use the blog of law firm Gallivan, White & Boyd, P.A. is presenting a week long salute to the film. Today’s post was an interview with director Jonathan Lynn. Still to come are interviews with Dale Launer, the film’s writer, and several of the actors who appeared in the film.

If you’ve never seen My Cousin Vinny, we have a copy you can borrow from the library.

Lawyer Plays Himself in New Movie

The Wall Street Journal has a story about Houston lawyer Mark Lanier. He’s playing a small part as himself in a new movie called ‘Puncture‘ that just had its debut at the Tribeca Film Festival. The film is based on a true story of a drug addicted lawyer’s battle against a syringe manufacturer.

I can’t find any information on when the film will be released but sounds like it could be interesting.
