'Disabled Justice? Access to Justice and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities presents a well-crafted conceptual framework through which the author provides an intelligent and instructive critique of access to justice for people with disabilities identifying key areas for reform that go to the heart of building an inclusive justice system.' Rosemary Kayess, University of New South Wales, Australia 'This book is a must-read for scholars, activists and policy-makers interested in access to justice, even if their particular focus is not disability. Its accessible style and fascinating content make it a gripping read as well as a powerful academic text. I have every confidence that it will be, as Flynn hopes, a conversation-starter? which will spark interest and debate in this hitherto somewhat neglected topic.' Anna Lawson, University of Leeds, UK 'The CRPD, for the first time in the history of international human rights law, recognizes access to justice as a distinct human right. Drawing upon the intersectionality inherent to disability, EilionA (3)ir Flynn in this path breaking study competently constitutes the symbolic, procedural, substantive and participatory components of this right.'
