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.
Your letter should start with “Dear Judge (last name of the judge assigned to the case)” but you should mail, email or fax your letter to the defendant's attorney. You should not send your letter directly to the judge. It must be provided to the judge by the attorney.
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.
If you are addressing the letter generally, type "Dear Clerk of Court:" and include a colon after the last word.
When signing the letter, you should close out with “Respectfully” or “Sincerely,” followed by both a typed and handwritten signature with your first and last name.
Most formal letters will start with 'Dear' before the name of the person that you are writing to. You can choose to use first name and surname, or title. and surname. However, if you don't know the name of the person you are writing to, you must use 'Dear Sir or Madam,'.
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.
You can address the judge to “The Honorable First Name Last Name” or “Judge First Name Last Name” or “Judge Last Name.” It is redundant to say “Honorable Judge” so use either “Judge” or “Honorable.”
This notice of appearance is a standard template that attorneys, including those admitted pro hac vice, can use to record their appearance in an action pending in New York Supreme Court. A notice of appearance notifies the court and other parties that you represent a party in the litigation.
Either “Judge” or “The Honorable” is acceptable. It's also acceptable to use “To Whom It May Concern.”
