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.
Their duties include:
<ul>
<li>Consulting with members , registrants, and potential registrants on the design of new arms when they express a preference for their jurisdiction (or when they reside in said jurisdiction and express no preference).</li>
<li>Advising members and others on the proper procedure (and cost) for government registration or matriculation in their jurisdiction, for those jurisdictions with an active government agency.</li>
<li>Providing translations of blazons from their subject language into English (if not English already). Note that this includes translations of blazons already registered.</li> <li>Serving as a member of the [[Arms Registration Heraldry Committee]] and voting on each petition for registration considered.</li>
<li>Such other duties as the Justiciar General may assign.</li>
</ul>
