<P> In court , a High Court judge is referred to as My Lord or Your Lordship if male , or as My Lady or Your Ladyship if female . High Court judges use the title in office of Mr Justice for men or , normally , Mrs Justice for women , even if unmarried . When Alison Russell was appointed in 2014 , she took the title `` Ms Justice Russell '' . The style of The Honourable ( or The Hon ) is also used during office . For example , Sir Joseph Bloggs would be referred to as The Hon Mr Justice Bloggs Kt. and Dame Jane Bloggs DBE as The Hon Mrs Justice Bloggs DBE . When there is already or has until recently been a judge with the same ( or a confusingly similar ) surname as a new appointee , the new judge will often use a first name as part of his or her official title . Many judges have done this , such as Mr Justice Christopher Clarke ( Sir Christopher Simon Courtenay Stephenson Clarke ) and Mr Justice Roderick Evans ( Sir David Roderick Evans ) . </P>
