Which article are you evaluating?
Legal history

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose Legal History because I've always been interested in studying law and the extensive process that surrounds the legal system. Without our legal system, society would be chaotic; the law holds people accountable, although unfortunately it does not always serve justice. Legal history is extremely extensive and quite complicated.

The first paragraph goes over how law changes over time and why it changes. It summarizes how intellectual history has evolved over many decades and how complex the law was and is. The lead is not overly detailed and perfectly summarizes what the rest of the article will contain. The article's content is relevant to the topic and doesn't put too much emphasis on one aspect of law over another. The article does not contain bias or opinions, only necessary facts. It goes over different time periods relevant to understanding how the law has grown and developed into what it is today. It is also careful to include many different kinds of law from different parts of the world during different time periods. There aren't too many pictures, but the ones that are added are relevant to the paragraphs that are written next to them. The article isn't extremely detailed but clearly explains the topic and includes reliable sources at the end of the article. The only way this article could be improved would be through slightly more detail although the article does include everything necessary to understand intellectual history and the development of law.
