(b) Retired members of the Maryland Bar and judicial law clerks may join the Association as non-voting members.
(c) Membership in the Association shall be terminated immediately upon voluntary resignation; nonpayment of dues as set forth in subsection (d); or suspension or loss of license to practice law by the Court of Appeals of Maryland.
