1.
His argument is not correct. Although he is already 80 years old, he has not yet retired. And because he has not yet retired, he is still required to pay his membership dues.
2.
He should not also be exempt for the same reason stated above, that is, he has not yet retired. If a lawyer is still actively engaged in the practice of law, he is required to comply with the MCLE. Being a senior citizen is not one of the exemptions.
