In every character letter, the writer must know how to format the letter and address the judge. Do not write “Honorable Judge” because that's redundant. Either “Judge” or “The Honorable” is acceptable. It's also acceptable to use “To Whom It May Concern.”
Be sure to include the case name and case number on both the letter and the envelope. The salutation (opener) is either ``May it please the Court'' (preferred) or ``May it please Your Honour'' (``Your Honor'') -- this wording works for any jurisdiction in the world in a letter from a non-lawyer.
Type the Name and Address of the Judge or Court Staff On the next line below the name, include the name of the court in which the judge presides, such as "San Francisco Superior Court" or "United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit." Directly under the name, include the judge's address, city, state and ZIP code.
Not all courts will accept a letter. Instead, the court might grant a continuance over the phone, or the court could require that you have a representative appear before the judge in your place.
Introduce yourself in the opening paragraph. Outline your relationship with the person who is the subject of the legal proceedings. Acknowledge the charges that have been brought against the person. State your opinion of the person's general character.
Follow the order of this format, leaving a space in between each section: Your Information (first thing that goes on the inside of the letter) Name. The Date. The Judge's Information. Honorable Judge First Name Last Name. What the Letter Is Going to Address. Salutation. Body. Signature.
