News Cincinnati loved in 2025

The forgotten story of George Remus, the Queen City’s most notorious prohibition era bootlegger, captured the attention of WLWT viewers in 2025. It was among the stories that the station cited among its favorites as the year ended.

Christopher Bryant, professor in the University of Cincinnati College of Law, was interviewed as part of the segment. Bryant, an expert in constitutional law, explained how Remus used a loophole in the law during Prohibition that permitted use of medicinal alcohol.  

Remus is remembered in legal circles because of his use of a temporary insanity defense during his trial for the murder of his wife.

Since joining the College of Law faculty in 2003, Bryant has been a prolific scholar and an exceptionally skilled and award-winning teacher of constitutional law.

Professor Bryant’s numerous published articles and essays reach a wide range of issues of contemporary constitutional importance, including the separation of powers, judicial review, and the roles of the various branches of the national government in constitutional interpretation.
