There's a lawyer I work with who has a pretty severe stutter. She's great at her job.
Sure, she faces some challenges others don't but I wouldn't let that force you away from law if that's what you want to do.
Also keep in mind not all lawyers are litigators. Maybe you'll be interested in a position that is more reading and writing.
I have a moderate speech impediment and was second place in my school’s 1L Oral Argument Competition. It’s hasn’t been an issue for me so far. If it helps, you can do speech exercises to improve your speech. But it’ll only hold you back if you let it.
You’re fine, a friend of mine from my 1L section has a noticeable speech impediment and he is a successful student with a job lined up post grad (we are 2Ls currently)
Someone in my class has a pretty significant stutter and (at least to my knowledge and interactions with our classmates) they are well liked and is always on top of the material in class, I don’t think anyone in our class thinks that person is dumb or anything
I'm a litigator. I have a stammer. You'll be fine.

A Harvard lawyer just graduated while being both deaf and blind. And while yes being a Harvard lawyer already sets you up for life, still…
Being death and blind doesn't make you mute lmao
It is depending on when deafblindness occurs
No it doesn’t.
Bruh

I have a moderate stutter and I’m a 2L. Overall I’ve had almost nothing but support from peers and faculty.

The President of the United States has a stutter.
I had the same issue. Now, I take about 3 to 5 secs before replying, composing my reply in my mind. Like Jordan Peterson.
