How to write a letter to a judge?

 

What is the beginning?

 

Dear Sir or dear judge?

[tywy_99]

Maybe Your Honor or Honorable Sir would work.

Your Honor would be best in case the judge is female.

Judges are always: Your Honor

Unless you are writing to a specific one in which case you specify them by name: The Honorable Beevis N Butthead

I would agree with using "Your Honor" as it is also fitting for both M/F.

I think Beevis n Butthead would be more appropriate for writing an attorney firm......'The Law offices of............'

I wanted to use "Your Honor" at first place, but when I search from the net about appeal letter, I just found out "Dear Sir" or "Dear judge".

 

Is "Your Honor" a formal way to write to a judge?

 

Thanks!

You might want to do it this way:

 

Honorable XXX X. XXXX, Judge

XXXXX Court

 

Dear Judge:

[king]

Make that:

 

Dear Judge XXXX:

Maybe it's none of my business, but I'm just curious as to the need for an "appeal letter".

I agree with Frank. Knowing the reason for the letter takes precedence over to how you address the reader.

 

I'm guessing that you will NOT be addressing a specific Judge but most likely the court. If that is the case you would address the letter completely differently.

 

Please take a moment to fill us in with the details of your case and we will be better able to help you....

Yes, it is written to the court, not addressing to a specific person.
