Does disbarment really destroys someone's life? It considerably reduces their career options and it means they'll probably get much less wealthy than they would otherwise have been, but they can still find another job. By contrast, if a lawyer makes a mistake that gets someone a criminal record they didn't deserve, that person has much more ground to say it destroyed their life.
