re: how to address a retired Judge?

President, Governor, Senator, Congressman, Judge, Sheriff, Colonel, General, etc. they all get to keep the title for life, anybody that says otherwise is just jealous.

Would it still be "Judge Smith"

"Your Worship"

I know a former fed judge who was impeached and I still address him as "Judge ________." He's good people.

Back in law school I had a professor who was an attorney and who had just sat as an interim judge. I wrote Ms. Manners and asked how he should be addressed--Professor, Your Honor, or what. Several months after I graduated she answered me in her column. Short and sweet: Once a judge, always a judge. The appropriate appellation is always Your Honor.
