用法筆記

Usually used in the passive voice (be disbarred) because the decision is made by a professional body, not by the lawyer. The preposition 'for' introduces the reason for the punishment. This word applies only to licensed lawyers — for other professionals, use 'struck off' (British English, doctors) or 'disqualified' (drivers, officials).
