FAQ
You can address most judges at the start of a letter as "Dear Judge" (or "Dear Justice" if they serve in a U.S. state or federal Supreme Court, or in certain courts of other countries). When addressing the envelope, it is best to use the judge's full title, along with the full name of the court in which he/she serves.
You put "p.p." in front of the name of the person for whom you are writing the letter -- p.p. stands for "per pro" (for and on behalf of).
However, when a person is awaiting trial, writing a letter to the judge will not help. At best, the letter will go unread by the judge, and will be of no help. In a worst-case scenario, the letter will end up being used by the prosecution as evidence against that person.
Use "Re:" (an abbreviation for "regarding" or "with reference to"), followed by a brief identifying phrase. Begin with a salutation. Write "Dear Judge (last name)," to start the message of your letter. Note that you should use "the Honorable" when referring to the judge, but use "Judge" addressing him or her directly.
Character letters should include your name, mailing address, phone number and email address so that the court can verify your information. They should be addressed either to the Honorable FIRST NAME LAST NAME or Judge FIRST NAME LAST NAME.
The letter should be addressed to the judge's full name such as Honorable Name of Judge along with the address of the district court. The letter may address Your Honor or Dear Judge Last Name of Judge. If the writer is not the defendant, the defendant's name should be given in the RE: line.
You can't write to the judge. You can hire your own attorney to make your case to the court.
Put the date at the top of the reference. For cases being heard in the Magistrates' Court, address the reference to 'The Presiding Magistrate, court location'. For cases in the County or Supreme Court, address it to 'The Presiding Judge'. Start all references with 'Your Honour'. Sign the reference at the end.
