Practice question
A lawyer refuses reasonable IBP dues because the lawyer dislikes the organization and argues that compulsory payment necessarily violates freedom of association. The lawyer identifies no legal exemption. Under Edillon's regulatory holding, which answer is best?
- The objection alone does not invalidate reasonable dues supporting Bar regulation and integration
- Any personal disagreement renders the integration rule void
- Dues become optional whenever a lawyer declines to vote
- A lawyer may unilaterally suspend all professional obligations
- Payment necessarily forces endorsement of every officer's views
