It’s important to know how to address a Magistrate, Judge or Registrar when speaking to one in court. If speaking to a Judge or Magistrate, always address him/her as “Your Honour”. If speaking to a Registrar, always address him/her as “Registrar”. When your name is called to come forward to the bar table, you may address the Judge or Magistrate as following, for example: “Your Honour, my name is ………………. I am the accused person/defendant”. Politely respond to questions the Judge or Magistrate asks. Do not talk over or interrupt. Remember to always ask the question to be repeated if you did not hear it. Otherwise, if you don’t understand the question, make sure to ask for the question to be explained.
