Answer: Although Vinnie is an attorney, he is not licensed in the state and has no trial experience

Shortly after he takes the case, Vinny attends an interview with the judge, Chamberlain Haller, who is presiding over the case. The judge tells Vinny the reason why he is being interviewed, and then he asks Vinny some questions to grant him permission to appear in the court.

However, Vinny doesn't have any answer for some of the questions, so he lies to the judge. For example, the judge asks Vinny how long he has been practising as an attorney, and Vinny tells the judge that he has been practicing for a long time and is an experienced attorney.

The judge asks him what the verdicts of the cases he has appeared in have been, and Vinny replies that he has won some of the cases and lost some of them. However, Chamberlain Haller is satisfied with his answers, and allows him to appear in the court for the case, but tells Vinny clearly that he expects him to come fully prepared for the case in all respects.

Answer: She provides useful evidence as an expert witness

Throughout the film, Lisa plays a significant role in the case Vinny is dealing with by helping him. She also keeps Vinny informed about facts that he isn't aware of. Although she doesn't play a very active role in the trial initially, her testimony proves to be instrumental towards the end of the film in proving Bill and Stan innocent.

She is herself a mechanic, and belongs to a family of mechanics, so she is able to effectively testify in the court as an expert witness. A photograph that she has in her possession proves that Bill's car couldn't have been used by the culprits to escape, since the car Bill was driving doesn't have the features that would have made the tire marks possible, such as an independent rear suspension, posi-traction and flat tire marks. Vinny questions George Wilbur, who endorses what Lisa tells the court, and the sheriff also testifies that the real culprits were arrested and found driving a green coloured Pontiac Tempest and were found to have a gun which was of the same type that had been used to shoot the store clerk.

Answer: Vinny wins the case, and Bill and Stan are freed

Even the judge, Chamberlain Haller, who had been critical of Vinny in the beginning, appreciates his effort and congratulates and compliments Vinny.
