Most heraldic activities of The Augustan Society, Inc., are under the direction of the Heraldry Committee. The Committee Chairman, styled "Justiciar General", is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the President. The Justiciar General appoints all other members of the Committee, with the President and Headquarters Staff as ex officio members.
