Whereas, the Honorable John R. Justice received both his Bachelor of Science and Juris Doctorate degrees from the University of South Carolina; and

Whereas, he was a member of the South Carolina Army National Guard from 1967 to 1992 and retired with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel; and

Whereas, he was elected to serve in the South Carolina House of Representatives in 1970 and 1972; and

Whereas, he was elected as Solicitor for South Carolina's Sixth Judicial Circuit in 1978 and has served as circuit solicitor continuously in this office since then; and

Whereas, Solicitor Justice has been a member of the Solicitors' Association of South Carolina, Inc., since 1978 and has been a past president of this association; and

Whereas, he has served as president of the National District Attorneys' Association, chairman of the Board of the National College of District Attorneys, and currently is chairman of the Board of Regents of the National College of District Attorneys; and

Whereas, he is married to the former Gracy Long, and together they are the proud parents of three daughters; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper to recognize the outstanding service that Solicitor John R. Justice has provided the people of South Carolina by having an interchange in his native Chester County named in his honor. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, request that the Department of Transportation name the interchange located at Exit Number 55 along Interstate Highway 77 in Chester County "Solicitor John R. Justice Interchange" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this interchange that contain the words "Solicitor John R. Justice Interchange".
