In the Provincial Court, the judge should be addressed as "Your Honour". | In the Provincial Court, the judge should be addressed as "Your Honour". Associate judges (formerly called ''masters'') of the BC Supreme Court are also addressed as "Your Honour". Justices of the BC Supreme Court are addressed as "Justice", "Madam Justice", or "Mr. Justice", and no longer addressed as "My Lord", "My Lady", "Your Lordship", or "Your Ladyship". Do not call any judge (whether a Provincial Court judge, a Supreme Court justice, or a Supreme Court associate judge) "sir," "ma'am," or "dude," or anything else for that matter. | ||
