(aka Our Story)

DISBARRED: The Card Game™ was born during peak bar exam burnout, when our founder decided there had to be a less soul-crushing way to learn the law. Instead of just memorizing rules, why not make a party game that actually makes legal concepts click… and crack people up?

That idea became DISBARRED. Backed by a team of other legal eagles and party game lovers, we launched on Kickstarter and were fully funded by a community just as obsessed with making law fun as we are.

And the best part? Every game sold helps fund aspiring lawyers in need and Know Your Rights organizations.

A magazine titled "The Future" with 30 Under 30 on the cover, along with a stack of black cards with a red "DISBARRED" stamp on one. The magazine is on a blue surface.

About Disbarred

The card game 'Disbarred' with a black box featuring a gold scale with a red 'Disbarred' stamp, a few black cards with the same stamp, and an instruction card on a wooden surface.

DISBARRED: The Card Game™ is a groundbreaking party game designed to make the law fun and accessible for any and everyone — no legal background required! You’ll pick essential knowledge without realizing it while trying to win in this courtroom of chaos.

topics galore!

A white blank background with no objects or features.

Dive into a world of pop culture references, criminal law, family law and more, where each card promises exciting moments and builds strong connections among players. Gain legal insights that are relevant to your everyday life — all while having a blast with friends and family. 

Join this revolutionary experience and join our mission to empower the public and support students in need through play!

Join the Movement! Support Aspiring Legal Professionals

For each box of DISBARRED™ sold, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to organizations supporting pre-law and law students in need with LSAT & Bar preparation to reduce the barriers to entry in the legal profession.

The financial burden associated with entering the legal profession can be a significant barrier, especially for those with limited resources, and we are committed to helping bridge that gap. By supporting DISBARRED™, you'll be joining our movement to break down these barriers and pave way for aspiring legal professionals to succeed.

Grateful to be featured by NYC.gov and the NYCHA Journal for the work behind DISBARRED. At 21 years old, I was also on the cover of the NYCHA Journal, highlighting education and entrepreneurship initiatives I led that impacted 600,000+ people, including my own community. NYCHA is the largest housing authority on the continent, and this recognition is a reminder of what’s possible when access, education, and intention align. Still building with purpose. T minus one month until Disbarred’s official release. 🚀 @nychagram @nycgov #NYCHA #GamesThatMatter
Kim K’s Fortnite skin is here. But what people miss is this is a textbook NIL deal. This isn’t just a skin. Fortnite is licensing her image, likeness, brand, and cultural capital. Same legal framework behind college athlete NIL deals, just on a much bigger stage. Who owns the likeness? How long can it be used? Where can it appear? What happens when the deal ends? The avatar is fun, but the contract is the real game. One bad clause and somebody’s losing more than V-Bucks. That’s actually why we built DISBARRED. It’s a party game that teaches you how law and bad contracts can cost you, before the real world does. #fortnite #kimkardashian #gaming #gamer

Even if the person didn’t intend to hurt her, unwanted touching that causes fear or discomfort is enough for a criminal charge. 👉 Sue (civilly): Ariana could also bring a civil lawsuit for assault, battery, or intentional infliction of emotional distress — but she’d need to show damages, like emotional trauma, security costs, or other harm resulting from the incident.

Kim K announces she didn’t pass the California Bar Exam. California is one of the few states that lets people become lawyers through an apprenticeship program instead of going to law school 📚. It takes years of supervised study and the California Bar is known as the HARDEST exam in the country. A lot of brilliant people didn’t pass on their first try, including Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, John F. Kennedy, and Kamala Harris.
