I spoke with my probation officer, now I must write a letter, to the judge. How do I address it?

Question

In writing a letter to the Judge, do I address it Honorable Judge Bla Bla, or Your Honor? I really want him to be good with me writing him. Of course it will go to my PO first then he will send it in with his letter. Should I gt a letter from my Dr. as well? Need some help here, Thank you

Answer 1

The first two answers are correct. All correspondence should be addressed;

The Honorable Judge (First and Last Name)

Answer 2

I believe when you address the correspondence it should be:

The Honorable Judge Doe
123 Any Street
The Town, State Zip

And then the salutation would be Your Honor:

Either way, I don't think the judge is going to run this by Dear Abby for the Politically Correct Etiquette, nor do I think that he will hold it against you if it's not exactly what he's used to, so long as you are respectful in the letter and clearly address the request that you are making. As far as a letter from your doctor, you should enclose any verifiable supportive documents that you can that support your request. Give the person a reason to do what you ask based on the opinion of respected professionals (Doctors) and upstanding members of the community (Your Priest, Reverend, Rabbi, Cleric or other civic leader) and if you're taking courses to better yourself, try to get one from your instructor/professor. If you're in a support group, see if your sponsor will write a supportive endorsement. This last one may be difficult if the sponsor really wants to maintain his anonymity and you need to respect that. Good luck!

Answer 3

I wrote my letter as

Judge ______,
Your honor,

I dont want to tell you that its the only way to write the letter but I did get the response I wanted. I would include any letters or statements that pertain to the case or issue. But you should also make copies of everything you send because for some reason the court system always seems to lose paperwork you send them, especially the really important things that are difficult to replace. Good luck!

Answer 4

The Honorable William F. Smith
Judge District Court of East Saint Elsewhere
123 Main street

or

The Honorable John J. Jones
Justice, Appellate Division
Supreme Court of the State of ______________
Address goes here

Dear Judge Jones

Dear Judge XX:

Answer 5

Dear Judge Doe,

Answer 6

The Honorable bal bla bla

Answer 7

I work in legal office all of ours is addressed "The Honorable Judge" Blah Blah.

Answer 8

address should be "Hon. Blab Blab Blab". And then you can either put Dear Judge Blab Blab Blab or Your Honor, before the letter. Judges like it when you sign it Respectfully yours,

Good luck.

Answer 9

Dear Judge Judy...

Answer 10

If you normally write in the same way as you have above and are fairly mild-mannered, I would suggest addressing it with their first and last name and start it with "Judge (last name)".
what sort of Dr. is it?
