The Executive manages and conducts the affairs of the Society.

The Executive is composed of one non lawyer, appointed by the Commissioner for a term of three years. There are also at least four other Executive members, all of whom must be active resident members. Every active member, with the exception of RAC holders, is entitled to vote at an election of the Executive.
