Life Member. The Board of Directors shall nominate for Life Membership any member who has been a Regular Member for at least ten (10) years, but who has retired from active law library employment.

Note:
The Executive Board has the authority to determine the classification of applicants and is empowered to adopt procedures for verifying student status. Membership cannot be transferred or assigned. Each regular member has one vote.

The membership term is based on LLAGNY's fiscal year, which runs from July 1st  to June 30th, rather than from the anniversary of the date an individual joins the association, therefore membership dues cannot be pro-rated if submitted later in the membership year.
