JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Justification for preference.

- The veterans' hiring preference has traditionally been justified as a measure designed to reward veterans for the sacrifice of military service, to ease the transition from military to civilian life, to encourage patriotic service, and to attract loyal and well-disciplined people to civil service occupations. Dash v. Department of Human Resources, 153 Ga. App. 633, 266 S.E.2d 305 (1980).
