> As the special issue editors write in their introduction:
> "Public and policy challenges regarding disability rights continue to be highly contested, even with the recent implementation of policies such as the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. Disability rights advocates point to the continued limitations of existing policy often compounded with the complete absence of considerations for persons with disabilities in multiple spaces. Adding further layers of complexity to the existing challenges of disability rights, the articles in this issue consider comparisons and conflicts when religion, disability and law are woven together. The intersections of religion, law and disability offer a vast spectrum of possible analytical interrogations. Yet the relationship of law, religion and disability is still an emerging research area; the overlapping challenges that are produced by barriers within religious and legal spheres offer insights regarding the lives of persons with disabilities within both religious and legal domains."
