Who: Director of the Justice Department’s Enron task force; lead prosecutor in the successful case against Jeffrey Skilling and Kenneth Lay.

Degree: J.D. ’92

Hometown: Chicago

Spotlight: With disgraced execs Skilling and Lay headed for prison, Berkowitz is sitting pretty. The prosecutor—whom U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald J.D. ’85 hand-picked for the investigation—even indulged in a bit of public speechifying after the verdict: "The jury has spoken, and they have sent an unmistakable message to boardrooms across the country—you can’t lie to shareholders. You can't put yourself in front of your employees’ interests. No matter how rich and powerful you are, you have to play by the rules." One can only hope that all the public attention takes away the sting of narrowly missing out on a Rhodes scholarship—not to mention giving up a partner-track post at a law firm to enter the less lucrative world of federal law enforcement.

Friends: Who cares if Berkowitz’s fellow Enron avenger John Hueston went to Yale Law School? Not Berkowitz. From the sound of it, the two high-powered lawyers are totally BFF. They even shared crawfish and Coronas on the eve of the verdict at a place called Big Woodrow’s.

Enemies: Kenneth Lay, of course—but, more important, Jeffrey Skilling M.B.A. ’79. The real lesson of the Enron trial? Law school beats B-school. At least, you know, in court.

Wheels: Berkowitz rides a Yamaha.

Pooch: An “aging collie–samoyed mix, Scout,” according to the Chicago Tribune.

In His Words: You want the truth? “Enron couldn't handle the truth.”
