Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to evaluate because I am interested and law and recognize the importance of the justice system. This topic is significant because it allows readers to gain an understanding of how laws have developed overtime.

Evaluate the article
There is a strong lead and a series of helpful links. There is a good amount of background information, but the article lacks development in the subcategories. For instance, the "Middle Ages" subcategory has the most amount of paragraphs, but all the other categories have one paragraph. There needs to be a greater emphasis on common and civil law so that readers can gain a better understanding. Overall, there is a historical tone that focuses on the history of various origins of law.
