The third part focuses on specific legal contexts where disability issues arise and have to date been inadequately explored, such as negligence law and debtor-creditor relationships. While the book incorporates an intersectional lens throughout, this part of the book pays particular attention to examining issues of law and disability affecting persons with disabilities from marginalized groups including Indigenous peoples and women. The final part of the book examines the criminal justice system (arrest, detention, jury representation, trial and sentencing) and inquests.
