FAQ
Outside of the Supreme Court, always use “The Honorable (full name)” in your correspondence. STATE COURTS Note: States may vary on titles of judges. Check with court or various state court resources to determine proper address and salutation forms, particularly for Chief Judges/Chief Justices.
Refer to the judge as “the Court”, “his honor,” or “her honor” if you need to refer to the judge while addressing a witness or the jury. Stop speaking if the judge begins to speak.
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.
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.
1. Use formal language: Address the judge as "Honorable Full Name". 2. Include proper titles: Use "Dear Judge Last Name" as the salutation.
If the letter is addressed to an individual the first occasion should be the more formal address of “Dear Sir” or “Dear Madam”, as the case may be. Subsequent correspondence can sometimes be in the form of the recipient's name (Dear Mr Smith) but never on a first name basis.
Character Letter for Court Sample Template First Paragraph: Begin by introducing yourself. Then, describe your relationship with the individual for whom you are writing the letter, including how long you've known them and the nature of your connection. Second Paragraph: State the purpose of your letter.
Introduce yourself to the Court. Explain how you know (and how long you have known) the defendant. Make it personal when describing the defendant's characteristics. Can you think of examples of good deeds done by the defendant (hard work, dedication to family/church/community, generosity, etc).
The goal of a character letter is to cast the defendant in the most favorable light possible. A character letter to a judge should establish your credibility, paint a full picture of the defendant and be respectful, among other things.
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.
