Kathleen Brickey, a nationally recognized scholar who specializes in the field of corporate and white collar crime, is the James Carr Professor of Criminal Jurisprudence at Washington University.

The author of four books and more than two dozen articles, Professor Brickey has written extensively on corporate liability issues, the federalization of criminal law, environmental crime, and—more recently—the legal fallout from Enron’s financial accounting fraud scandal and its progeny. Her three-volume treatise, "Corporate Criminal Liability," and her casebook, "Corporate and White Collar Crime," are leading works in the field. Her latest book, "Environmental Crime: Law, Policy, Prosecution," is the first law school text devoted exclusively to the study of environmental crime.

In 1989, Brickey became the first woman on the Washington University law faculty to be named to a chaired professorship. She served as the George Alexander Madill Professor of Law until 1993, when she was named the James Carr Professor of Criminal Jurisprudence. In 1991 she received Washington University’s Distinguished Teaching Award and the John C. Vance Award for the best paper in the field of transportation law —"Civil RICO Liability in the Highway Construction Industry"—from the Transportation Research Board, a research arm of the National Academy of Sciences.

Brickey was elected to membership in the American Law Institute and the Society for the Reform of Criminal Law in 1988 and has served as chair of the Association of American Law Schools Section on Criminal Justice and as a consultant to the United States Sentencing Commission.
