The "bar" is the association of lawyers; to be "dis-barred" is to be thrown out of the group, and no longer allowed to practice law. This penalty is seldom used, and is only applied to lawyers who commit especially serious offenses against the rules of being a lawyer, which is a pretty low threshold.
For example, President Bill Clinton was disbarred not for his affair with Monica Lewinsky, but for lying about it to a grand jury.
