"Your honor" always works, and is gender neutral.

In Australia, your honor is what judges in higher courts such as the County and Supreme Courts are referred to. In a Magistrate's Court we refer to the Magistrate as "Your Worship".

You should contact the defendants legal representative not the court.

"Your grand high exaltedness" is the correct form. Seriously though, you should mention what country you're in when asking questions like this.
