Would love to hear how law school was for you sometime. Pretty cool you got through it and graduated with what you call a 'severe stutter'. My sister showed me around her trial classroom once when I...

I kind of had the same feeling. A lot of my classes, my professor had us stand up and introduce ourselves to the class (name, major, current job, etc). This was the worst for me, especially if I was o...
