The Augustan Society, Inc., covers the field of [[Heraldry]]. This field is rather broad, and national traditions vary substantially in laws, rules, customs, and language. Thus it is considered prudent to name a number of '''Vice-Justiciars''', each an expert in one national heraldic tradition.
These officers are styled "Vice-Justiciar for American Heraldry", ..."Germanic Heraldry", etc. They are appointed by the [[Justiciar General]] and serve at his pleasure. There is no limit to the number of Vice-Justiciars that may be appointed, save that only one shall be appointed for each heraldic jurisdiction. Should additional help be desired for a jurisdiction, "Assistant Vice-Justiciars" may be named.
''Note: The United Kingdom shall be considered two jurisdictions as the College of Arms and the Lord Lyon do not have overlapping jurisdiction.''
