Peirce
RICHMOND, Va. -– A Pittsburgh law firm accused of conspiring to fabricate asbestos claims wants a full panel of appellate judges to review a ruling that reinstated the fraud case against it.

The Peirce firm says the December decision flies in the face of precedents established by the U.S. Supreme Court.
