Any lawyer who fails to make application for reinstatement within five years of the effective date of transfer to inactive status may, in the discretion of the court upon notice from the Louisiana State Bar Association, be required to petition for reinstatement under Rule XIX, § 24.
(B) Emeritus Status. Any lawyer on emeritus status under Section 3(B) of this rule shall be reinstated to active status if the lawyer makes application to the Louisiana State Bar Association and makes full payment of the annual bar association dues and the annual disciplinary fee required by Rule XIX, § 8.
