served as the President Makerere University Law Society<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSsemakadde is described as a legal rebel and with his dreaded hairstyle; many have drowned criticisms at him. His mission is to change the world from layman misconceptions and common nomenclature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ssemakadde points out that they are trying to reinvent the law, their own way via humble means as humanely as possible. He tells fashion is in his blood, something he cannot live without, he loves all about fashion and is so passionate about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Defending his stand on fashion, Ssemakadde says he will not let time pass him by, because he\u2019s still young with a right to do some experimental fashion procedures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, he asserts that he tries to be good at whatever he does because he represents the voices of the unheard people in society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ssemakadde began his career at Bowmans (A.F Mpanga Advocates)<\/strong>, one of the most reputable law firms in the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThereafter, Ssemakadde co-founded Legal Brains Trust<\/strong> with a colleague while studying at the Law Development Centre (LDC).<\/p>\n\n\n\nLegal Brains Trust which is sometimes referred to as The Shrine, Ark and The Last Chance Saloon is a universal firm that handles any type of case regardless. It doesn\u2019t lock out a certain calibre of people; it\u2019s just open to everybody. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ssemakadde defended Stella Nyanzi after being charged with cyber harassment<\/strong> and offensive communication against President Museveni, the President of Uganda and his wife, the First Lady of Uganda Janet Kataha Museveni <\/strong>in a Facebook post.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis case was politically and socially risky but Semakadde took it up because it is his interest and obligation to defend society. He is very much interested in democracy, human rights, fairness, freedom, equality, progress, unity and the rule of law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ssemakadde who specialized in commercial law, strategic litigation, consumer law, human rights and research, says committed public interest attorneys Prof. Joe Oloka Onyango and Sylvia Tamale shaped his world views and post-university experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Family<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIsaac Ssemakadde <\/strong>is not married but has children.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLeisure Time<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIsaac Ssemakadde spends his free time listening to music. His favourite musicians are; the late Paulo Kafeero and Ahawn Mendes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He loves spending time playing with his son, as well as making new friends. He loves reading books as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
