A quick definition of disbar:

Disbarment is when a lawyer loses their license to practice law because they did something really bad. This is the most serious punishment for a lawyer. Some reasons for disbarment include doing something illegal, lying, stealing money, or not doing a good job for their clients. Different states have different rules for punishing lawyers who do bad things. When deciding what punishment to give, the court looks at how bad the lawyer's actions were, if they meant to do it, how much harm they caused, and if there were any good or bad things that might make the punishment more or less severe.

A more thorough explanation:

Disbarment is the most severe punishment for lawyers who have committed misconduct. It means that the lawyer's license to practice law is taken away. This punishment is given by the court, which is the only authority that can give or take away a lawyer's license. Other punishments, such as suspension, probation, and reprimand, can also be given for less severe misconduct.

There are many reasons why a lawyer may be disbarred. Some of these reasons include committing a serious crime, such as fraud or forgery, being dishonest with clients, stealing money from clients, or violating the professional code of ethics. If a lawyer is disbarred in one state, they may also be disbarred in other states that have adopted the same rules.

When deciding whether to disbar a lawyer, the court will consider several factors. These factors include whether the lawyer violated a duty to their client, the public, the legal system, or the profession, whether the lawyer acted intentionally or negligently, how much harm was caused by the misconduct, and whether there are any aggravating or mitigating factors.

For example, if a lawyer steals money from a client, they may be disbarred because they violated their duty to the client and committed a crime. On the other hand, if a lawyer accidentally makes a mistake that harms a client, they may not be disbarred because they did not act intentionally or negligently.
