Cool man, I‘m also studying law at the moment (about halfway through). What helps me a lot is to talk to my lecturers about my problem. For example I missed the first 4 sessions because I was too afraid (the course requires a lot of oral participation to get a positive grade). Then I decided, or let’s say my SLP forced me to, go to the lecturer and tell her about my stutter. I was very afraid but I finally decided to do it. I was already sure that I would not pass the course because of my absence (you’re basically allowed to miss out 2 sessions) and that she was mad at me for being absent without an excuse. So I went to her office and told her about my problem. To my surprise she was really understanding and even offered me to stay in the course. She also assured me that I wouldn’t be called out in class and that I can submit written content for my missed sessions. What I want to say is that talking about it helps a lot and the outcome is often much different (better) than you think it is.
