disbar
v.
expel a lawyer from the legal profession
Disbarment
Disbarment is a revocation of a
lawyer's ability to practice
law or argue
cases. For most lawyers, this can essentially mean no longer having a livelihood. Generally disbarment is imposed as a sanction for conduct indicating that an attorney is not fit to practice law, willfully disregarding the interests of a client, or engaging in fraud which impedes the administration of justice. In addition, any lawyer who is convicted of a
felony is automatically disbarred in most jurisdictions.
