Routledge - Disabled Justice? Access to Justice and the UN CRPD

Disabled Justice? provides a fresh perspective on the effectiveness of access to justice and the inclusiveness of legal systems. Published by Routledge, this book examines how the justice system functions for people with disabilities through every stage of legal interaction. The text analyzes the full experience of individuals with disabilities, starting from the initial complaint and investigation stages through to the formal court and tribunal processes. It provides a deep look at how the system handles different roles, including witnesses, defendants, complainants, plaintiffs, lawyers, judges, and jurors. Beyond specific legal procedures, this work critically examines the subtle barriers that prevent full access. It offers an essential study for those interested in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the broader sociological impact of legal accessibility. This book is a vital resource for understanding how legal structures can better serve all members of society.
