It's just a letter, and I am writing him in regards to class that I will be taking with him in a couple weeks, so I havent had a class with him yet.

The Justices do not have e-mail addresses, but you can write to them at:

Justice (or Chief Justice) (Justice's Full Name)
Supreme Court of the United States
One First Street N.E.
Washington, DC 20543
General questions should be addressed to:

Public Information Officer
Supreme Court of the United States
Washington, DC 20543.

This person has two capacities; as a Justice of the Supreme Court and as a Professor.
According to the rules of etiquette, if you are addressing him in his capacity as a Professor, address him as Professor.
But you are correct; you would address him, in his capacity as a Justice, as "Mr. Justice" in person, but in a letter as "Your Honorable Mr. (name).

use the form "Justice lastname" when addressing an associate justice, or "Mr. Chief Justice" when addressing the Chief Justice.

"Your honor" is the title used for most judges.

Though if he's your professor and you are writing him a personal letter or one to do with his lectures, i would simply suggest using what he prefers to be adressed by in class.

Just call them "your honor". It is best to say this to any judge, or commissioner.
