Clarifying a sentence. This is the sentence in question:

"I am concerned with uncritical assumptions and judgments, whether it be by ignorant authors of articles on law proceedings or others."

It is divided by a comma. The first clause makes a general statement. That statement is: the subject (me) is concerned (takes note of, worries about) uncritical assumptions and judgments. This is a categorical. What follows the comma then further qualifies the categorical. It says this concern applies to ignorant authors who write on law proceedings and others. The first qualifier is quite specific: ignorant authors writing about a specific topic. The second qualifier is actually redundant as the first clause has already stated a categorical: my concern whenever there are uncritical assumptions and judgments. "Others" therefore applies to all I encounter at anytime and anywhere in the universe who make uncritical assumptions and judgments. It is this phenomenon I am concerned with.
