the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar; or a law faculty affiliate of The Florida Bar as defined in Rule 1-3.9
of the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar, as an affiliate member of this Section, upon application and payment of the prescribed dues.
Affiliate members shall have all the privileges of membership in this Section, except that they may not:
(a) Hold any office in the Section, whether elected or appointed;
(b) Vote or participate in the election of any officers of the Section; and
(c) Vote on the adoption, change or revision of any provision of these bylaws.
The number of affiliate members of the Section at any time may not exceed one-third (1/3) of the total Section
