Update forms of address May 2023
===Addressing the judge===
In the Provincial Court, the judge should be addressed as ''Your Honour''. Masters of the 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,'' or ''My Lady,'' ''Your Lordship,'' or ''Your Ladyship''. Do not call the judge or master "sir," "ma'am," or "dude," or anything else for that matter.
===Addressing the other side===
It is extremely poor form to gloat over a victory, or, otherwise, to sulk and rage about a loss. Take it like a grownup and leave the courtroom. Save your boasting or complaining for your friends.
