A federal court disagreed, ruling that the pardon did not automatically entitle Borders to reinstatement. Now Borders is before the Supreme Court in a potential landmark case that asks the justices to interpret the scope of the pardon power, one of the most sweeping powers of the presidency.

Richmond [email protected] McKenna Long Aldridge, 2002 was bleak, so even the firm's very modest growth in 2003 may indicate the beginning of a turnaround.

Although an insurer has a contractual right to investigate a claim for UM coverage, when, as here, that investigation turns into a three-year odyssey and shows all the signs of a duly accepted claim, the insurer must put the insured on direct and unequivocal written notice that the investigation does not toll the running of the statute of limitations; absent such notice, equity demands that the running of the statute be tolled; the order directing defendant to submit to UM-coverage arbitration is affirmed.
