Approaching the law as an act of service, he works with people currently in prison, especially with women and individuals needing more accessability rights, and has already helped change Kenyan law so that individuals with mental disabilities no longer serve indefinite sentences. Isaac's journey to a law degree is not your typical story. He began law classes, but then at 25 years old was arrested and senteced to 14 years in prison. Through the suggestion by a prison warden and sponsorship from Justice Defenders, Isaac was able to take classes and complete his law degree while incarcerated. \n\nIn our first episode of Series 3 of Integrative Lawyers of the World we talk to Mr. Ndegwa about his difficult educational path to his career, its transformational affect on his desire to go from \"big shot\" lawyer to servant lawyer, the flaws in the justice system, and the ability each person has to make a positive impact from wherever they are. \n\nLearn more about Isaac and our other featured Integrative Lawyers of the World at https://www.integrativelaw.com/celebrating-and-showcasing-the-global-integrative-law-movement/\n\nTo support the Integrative Law Movement and effect positive change in our legal systems go to https://www.integrativelaw.com/financial-support-for-the-movement/ (supporters in the USA are able to make tax deductible donations thanks to our fiscal sponsor The Renaissance Lawyer Society https://renaissancelawyer.org/ ) \n\nIf you appreciate the work of these legal changemakers and want to help us continue to share more stories, please like, subscribe, and rate us 5 stars on YouTube, Google, Spotify, iTunes, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and your favorite podcast platforms.\n\nMusic for this podcast was created by Toby Leach.
