But disqualification falls under the rules of professional conduct. Essentially, a judge should disqualify herself from a case if she has a conflict of interest. if the judge refuses to disqualify herself in face of a conflict of interest, then the appeals process is a remedy. Alternatively, an attorney should disqualify himself if he has a conflict of interest or acts unprofessionally in the case. These decisions are left first and foremost to the individual, as the individual is in the best position to know whether he can competently and diligently represent his client. However, the judge has final say and can disqualify an attorney if the conduct or conflict is deemed too substantial: which is what occurred, here. A disqualified lawyer can still practice law, but cannot represent a party in that dispute. These prosecutors are only barred from representing the state in criminal matters, and I cannot tell from the article the length of time, though the 250 disqualification only appears to be for this Dekraai person. But, all of the prosecutors are still licensed to practice law in California, and they are unlikely to face any ethical reprimand from the California Supreme Court or the California Bar Association.
Disbarment also falls under the rules of professional conduct, but they are overseen by each state's supreme court and/or bar association. Disbarment is a more procedure based process: it include drafting a formal complaint, notice, testimony, evidence, outside legal counsel, a hearing, a written decision, and approval by the state supreme court. The effect of disbarment is that you can no longer practice law in that state, unless readmitted.
