İshak Şevki Efendi was born in Kafkasya in 1848/49 (AH 1265). The first salary was 75 kuruş a month. The annual lists begin in 1865/66, with İshak Şevki as Zabıta Meclisi Fırka Kalemi memuru and no place named. At the same time, from 1869 to 1881, the lists also place İshak Şevki in Çatalca as Meclis-i temyiz ikinci kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1880 to 1882 give a second post, in Afyonkarahisar as Bidayet mahkemesi müddeiumumi muavini. Alongside, the lists for 1881 to 1885 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Bidayet mahkemesi ceza reisi. For 1885 to 1892 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1884/85 give a second post, in Çatalca as Bidayet mahkemesi ceza reisi. The annual lists then follow İshak Şevki to Aydın from 1892 to 1896. Alongside, the lists for 1895/96 give a second post, in Diyarbakır as İstinaf müddeiumumisi. Alongside, the lists for 1895 to 1897 give a second post, in Trabzon as İstinaf müddeiumumisi.
