A. What did you learn from Stedman’s essay that might apply to your use of legal
sources in your writing?
From reading Stedman’s essay I learned that many readers feel frustrated by what they read like the author mention might see us as a slow driver when we pick a quote and don’t now how to correctly incorporate to our text. I learned that readers can also try to give us the benefit of doubt but many don’t and just think that we are just being sloppy and don’t care. Stedman’s mentioned many error’s that is common for writers to make especially with quotes they include in their writing ;however, he also gave fixes to theses mistakes. One example is Stedman’s says” This author feels like Uncle Barry to me: grabbing right and left for topics (or quotes) in an effort to sound authoritative.The Fix is to return to each quotation and decide why it’s there and then massage it in accordingly. If you just want to use a quote to cite a fact, then consider paraphrasing.” This is saying how many writers use many quote to sound reliable but a better way to cite a fact is paraphrasing which can be helpful when we cite statues or legal sources. Since it’s something we are trying to explain and be as our evidence to back up our legal writing they tend to be a lot of sentences, paraphrasing can help it become smoother and natural conveying the factual information in any type of legal writing we do.

Question 2:
If we ever become in contact with extraterrestrial intelligent life forms it should immediately be told to the United Nations to handle this contacts. They are the best candidate to sit and negotiation with if they ever come here on our planet with other assistance along with the UN. Bábame Hassanabadi says “However, along with legal issues, there might be a tremendous amount of scientific and technical issues that require the assistance of either UN specialized organs like Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) or non-UN institutions such as the SETI Institute or universities. In either case, outsourcing any part of the negotiation will be within the discretion of the secretary general of the United Nations.” There will also be other institutions to help with the legal issues but mainly the United Nations should be there primarily to decide what to do. So this better proves that we are already prepared and thinking that their is life outside of our own and how we will handle if it ever occurs better said who will handle, it in this case the United Nations. I used “The Annoyances” because a poorly introduced quotation can lead readers to think where did the quote come from? Coming out of nowhere, just included in the writing without any explanation of why it’s part of the writing making the reader be confused on what they are reading. I followed the guideline by signaling that a quote is about to come, stating who the quote came from, and showing how my readers should interpret it.
