Is it supposed to be your Honor or Your Honor?

It seems that the old-fashioned way to write it would be Your Honor, but now people are starting to lower case the your.  I really don't see any reason to do that, however, because we're supposed to talk about the Judge in transcripts as if he/she is God.  Technically, he/she -- or make that He/She -- is the God of the court room.

How does everyone else do it?

Your Honor or you Honor

His  Honor or his Honor

Her Honor or Her Honor

Judge or judge

I gues, "Yo, person in the front of the room" is out of the question?

Ahhh, I've always written Your Honor.   I also write THE COURT:

 

Now I wonder if Your Honor has been wrong all these years.  I do a lot of depos, so it doesn't come up a lot, just when we go for rulings.  That's the way I was taught like 100 years ago, haha.
