Article Evaluation

Content:

The content of the article is lacking in that, it lacks depth. First, the article is not very detailed considering it is the history of law. It is understandable that the article wouldn't have every law listed but the article conflicts itself due to the lack of material about the history of law which, should be quite substantive. Next, the content of the article steadily decreases from the start to the end of the article, with modern laws constantly being reviewed and reversed then there should be more releveant content to modern standards. Furthermore, one could argue the article is biased on focusing on other countries instead of European and North America history of law which, has arguably the lowest amount of content.

Tone:

The tone tries to remain neutral but seems biased in regards to relgion in that, the article is focused on laws regarding religion such as Catholic Law and Middle Ages which, is also commonly associated with religion and catholic practices. The article does mention other religious laws such as Islamic but the article's tone is in favor of Catholic or other closely religious laws. Furthermore, it seems as a result of biased writing on Catholic and religious laws the rest of the article is underrepresented which, the article could resolve if the article incorporated other religious laws or focused more on non-reliogus laws.

Evaluating Sources:

When evaluating the article there were a couple of issues with the article that I found. First, most of the references are not hyperlinked so a person viewing the article has to search the links themselves in a search bar which, leads to most of the references being books that need to be purchased so it limits the credibility of the article if one can't easily check the sources. Furthermore, the book "Legal Tradition of The World" by Glenn, H Patrick is used for majority of the religious content which, provides majority of all the content so it could create a biased article due to majority of the references being from one book.
