This bold cover design explores how legally trained professionals have pivoted to entirely different career paths. The central visual concept uses a sticker label placed across a traditional barrister's portrait, literally demonstrating the legal term referenced in the title. This simple but effective metaphor shows how these individuals have relabelled themselves, moving beyond their original legal identities to forge new professional personas.
The juxtaposition between the formal legal portrait and the contemporary sticker creates an immediate visual tension that reflects the book's core theme—the transformation from traditional legal careers to unexpected new directions. The sticker serves as both a literal covering of the old identity and a symbol of the fresh labels these career-changers have embraced.
