When a person is denied entry to a place, it is known as being ‘barred’ from that particular place. When your access to some services are cut off, you are ‘barred’ of that particular service. And when your access is restored or you are no longer denied access, you are ‘unbarred’.
So what happens when a lawyer (advocate, barrister, shark) is banned from appearing in court to represent clients and from practicing law altogether? He is ‘disbarred’ (same as unbarred)!
Does that sound right?
