contents Circuit algebras, used in the study of finite-type knot invariants, are a symmetric analogue of Jones's planar algebras. They are very closely related to circuit operads, which are a variation of modular operads admitting an extra monoidal product. This paper gives a description of circuit algebras in terms categories of Brauer diagrams. An abstract nerve theorem for circuit operads -- and hence circuit algebras -- is proved using an iterated distributive law, and an existing nerve theorem for modular operads.
