DISBARS Meaning and
Definition
-
Disbars is the third-person singular tense of the verb "disbar," which refers to the act of legally suspending or revoking an attorney's license to practice law. When an attorney is disbarred, they are forbidden from representing clients and offering legal services. It is the most severe disciplinary action that can be taken against a lawyer for professional misconduct or ethical violations.
The process of disbarment typically begins when a grievance or complaint is filed against the attorney. This may be a result of misconduct, such as fraud, dishonesty, professional negligence, or serious ethical violations. The complaint is then investigated by the relevant legal authorities, often a bar association or disciplinary board.
If the allegations against the attorney are substantiated and found to be in violation of established professional standards, a formal hearing is conducted. During the hearing, evidence is presented, and both the complainant and the attorney in question have the opportunity to present their case. If the attorney is found guilty of the charges, the penalty may include a range of disciplinary actions, with disbarment being the most severe.
Disbarment is a significant consequence for an attorney as it effectively puts an end to their legal career. It usually entails the removal of their name from the legal register and prohibits them from practicing law, providing legal advice, or representing clients. To regain their license, disbarred attorneys often need to wait for a specified period, demonstrate rehabilitation or remorse, and submit a formal application for reinstatement, which is subject to review by the relevant legal authorities.
