Attorney Regulation Act Article 11

In accordance with this Act, those who wish to practice law may select only one local bar association as the local bar association to which they belong, and at the same time apply for admission to such local bar association and the National Bar Association as a general member of such local bar association and an individual member of the National Bar Association.Attorneys, in addition to selecting the local bar association to which they belong, may also apply for admission to other local associations as their special member. The rights and obligations of such special member, unless otherwise provided for in this Act or the charter of the local bar associations, shall be the same as those of the general member of such local bar associations.After accepting the application mentioned in the preceding paragraph, such local bar association shall directly agree upon the same, and such application shall be effective upon application; such local bar association shall further give notice to the applicant, the local bar association to which he/she belongs, and the National Bar Association. Article 12 to Article 16 hereof shall not apply here.Where special members who exercise their rights of voting, election or recall or who are included in the total number of members present in a meeting exceed one-fourth of the number of rights or that of members present respectively calculated based on the sum of the general members and special members, the total number of such special members should be counted as one-fourth of that of the members; provided, where the charter of the local bar associations provides for any other ratio of the total number of special members, such provision shall prevail.In the case mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the charter of such local bar associations shall specify how the number of rights that may be exercised by individual special members or that of the special members that may be included in the total number of members present in a meeting shall be calculated by a ratio to the total rights to be exercised or the total number of members present in a meeting.The general members shall resolve to adopt any adjustment to the ratio to the total number of members, or the calculation of the number of such respective rights to be exercised by special members or the ratio of the special members to be included in the total members present set forth in the proviso of Paragraph 4 hereof and the preceding paragraph.
