Widow of BigLaw partner loses en banc petition in wrongful-death lawsuit


The Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday denied a petition to rehear a wrongful-death finding involving GlaxoSmithKline and a former Reed Smith partner who died by suicide while taking a generic version of the prescribed antidepressant Paxil. Wendy Dolin, who was Stewart Dolin's wife, alleged that GSK failed to warn people that the drug could cause suicide deaths in older users, Bloomberg Big Law Business reports.
