Which article are you evaluating?
International Institute for the Sociology of Law

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I selected the International Institute for the Sociology of Law article because the slides suggested that to find an article on Wikipedia, I could look through the academic disciplines category. Within the academic disciplines category, I selected Jurisprudence and then Sociology of Law. I then selected the article I chose to evaluate: International Institute for the Sociology of Law. I chose this article because I did not know that there was an Institute for the Sociology of Law and I was curious to learn more about it. It matters because I assume that others would probably be interested in learning more about the history and existence of this Institute and their work. My preliminary impression of the article is that it is very short and does not have any citations. Rather, the article has hyperlinks to other Wiki articles.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section - While the article only really has a lead section, I think its introductory sentence is helpful to providing the reader with an overview of the topic. The lead section does not include a brief description of the articles major sections, which are 'Literature,' 'See also,' and 'External links.'

Content - the article's content is relevant to its topic. The article is not up to date as it mostly covers the founding and history of the IISL and does not present any current information. Content that is missing includes more recent literature published by the IISL as well as more detailed information regarding recent or current socio-legal workshops at the IISL. I think the article does address topics related to historically underrepresented populations.

Tone and Balance - the article is neutral.

Sources and References - the article does not have any citations. The article does have an 'External Links' section with two links: one to the official website of the IISL and another to a YouTube video. However, neither link is attached to a fact in the article. Both links work.

Organization and Writing Quality - overall, I think the article is well-written. There are no spelling mistakes or grammar errors. However, it should be noted that the article uses the British spelling of organize: organise. The article could be improved by adding more sections.

Images and Media - the article does not have any images. In terms of media, the article has a YouTube video linked.

Talk page discussion - no conversations are being had on the talk page of this article. The article was last edited on January 29th, 2024. The article is rated Start-Class and is of low-importance to the WikiProject Law articles.

Overall impressions - overall, I found the topic of the article itself to be interesting. However, the article is very short and could use more detailed information and sections. In terms of the article's completeness, I would rate it as underdeveloped.
