    The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is one of specific promising international human right treaty to protect the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities. Despite that Ethiopia is a signatory country and ratified by the parliament, there are visible challenges in respect of achieving the goal of the treaty. The research therefore, stresses on assessment of access to justice for persons with disabilities in Ethiopia; in light with the UN convention on the rights of persons with disabilities. To accomplish the study, the researcher adopts doctrinal research method, consequently; books, journal article, comments, dead files (cases) reports and other documents have been extensively consulted. The research finding reveals that, implementation of PWD's right to access justice is not realized enough when we evaluate the practice with the standards of the united nation convention on the right of persons with disabilities. They experience serious problems in accessibility of the buildings of hosting courts,; lack of accessible information, delay of proceeding, gaps in free legal aid ,lack of legal awareness for justice organs on PWD right to accommodate them , financial problem. The attention paid in general is very low. Therefore, in cooperation with other shareholders the state must properly fulfill its duties to ensure that PWDs have the right to access justice. In addition justice organs mainly have to implement domestic laws in harmonization with the ratified and signed united nation convention on the right of persons with disabilities.
