I am interested in the history of law and thought it would be interesting to read about it. It doesn't relate much to my topic

Evaluate the article
Lead section: I think the author of the wikipedia source did a good job with the topic paragraph with the subject being made clear in the first couple sentences. It also added some complexity to the topic with it. They gave a brief history of it and it gave me an overview of the essay.

Content: They seem for some sections to not has much information as others. I'd say some sections were defiantly more researched than others and had more effort put into them. The US history needs a lot more information with it severely lacking in quality.

Tone: I think the tone was very neutral with it not being a controversial topic and is just history. They don't describe wether if the laws were right, but just gave the history of them.

Sources: they had 12 sources for a wikipedia page that wasn't very long and I think that should be a good amount for this topic and length.

organization: After the intro, they broke down the history of law into 8 major categories with then starting with the most ancient history and ending with the most current history being the US history.

Images: They didn't have much images on the page, they only had two images on the whole page.

Talk page: My essay didn't have a talk page

Overall impressions: I think the essay started off strong with it having a great intro and then had a great next two paragraphs. After that the quality of the assignment started to wain with the paragraphs having less and less information and being more surface value with them using less sources. A couple of their sections could defiantly improved but I think the intro and European laws was the strong suit.
