+Justices can also hear interim applications and judicial cases conferences, but are mostly assigned to hear trials and applications to change final orders. Until quite recently, justices were addressed by the ancient-sounding terms "My Lord" or "My Lady," or, if you wanted, as "Your Lordship" or "Your Ladyship." As of the end of 2021, a justice of the BC Supreme Court is to be addressed as "Chief Justice", "Associate Chief Justice", "Justice", "Madam Justice", or "Mr. Justice" as the context requires. The old terms "My Lord", "My Lady", "Your Lordship", and "Your Ladyship" is to be avoided.
