Biography
Paul Ochieng Juma is Lecturer in Law and Director, Center for Legal Aid and Clinical Legal Education, Kabarak University, Kenya.
'Juma’s book shines a light on the shockingly underexamined implications of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities for criminal law, particularly the doctrine of unfitness to stand law. That he does so with an eye to Kenya and similar middle-income contexts – drawing on postcolonial and Foucauldian theory in the process – makes this book groundbreaking on multiple fronts.'
