Supporting Legal Capacity in Socio-Legal Context

Edited by Mary Donnelly, University College Cork, Ireland, Rosie Harding, University of Birmingham, UK & Ezgi Tascioglu, Keele University, UK Focusing on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, this book explores the dilemma of how to support legal capacity in theory and practice. It concludes that approaches to capacity need to be informed by a grounded understanding of how it operates in ‘real life’ contexts. The book comprises 16 chapters by socio- and medico-legal scholars from the UK, Canada, Finland, India, Ireland, Spain, Sweden, and Turkey, many of whom have been directly involved in law reform processes in their home jurisdictions, and thus combine both academic expertise and practical awareness of the challenges of legal change.
