A traditional manner in which to address a judge.
See, e.g. Uttecht v. Brown, 551 U.S. 1, 23 (2007).
JUDGE: "Good morning everyone. I understand that counsel for Mr. Smith wish to make a motion. Is that correct?"
ATTORNEY: "Yes, your Honor. This is a motion for voluntary dismissal of this matter, pursuant to settlement negotiations that concluded last night."
"Homero Gonzalez was charged in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas on five felony drug offense counts. He is the petitioner here. At the outset of jury selection, the parties appeared before a Magistrate Judge. . . . [T]he Magistrate Judge said: 'I need to ask the parties at this time if they are going to consent to having the United States Magistrate Judge proceed in assisting in the jury selection of this case.' . . . Petitioner's counsel responded: 'Yes, your Honor, we are.'"
