Editing Judge (section)

=====Northern Ireland=====
The judicial system of [[Northern Ireland]] is very similar to that of England and Wales, and superior court judges are addressed the same way as those in England and Wales. However, there are a few differences at the lower levels.

In Northern Ireland, the equivalent to a circuit judge is a [[county court]] judge, and they are addressed and titled the same way as a circuit judge is in England and Wales. The senior county court judges assigned to the county court divisions of [[Belfast]] and [[Derry]] have the titles of [[Recorder of Belfast]] and Recorder of Londonderry (or Derry) respectively, but are addressed the same as other county court judges. A district judge sitting in the County Court is addressed as "Your Honour".

A district judge (magistrates' court) is addressed as "Your Worship". A lay magistrate, in cases where they are present, is also addressed as "Your Worship", and may use the post-nominals "LM", e.g. "John Smith LM".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.law.qub.ac.uk/schools/SchoolofLaw/Education/handbooks/Filetoupload,150353,en.pdf |title=A Guide to Judicial Careers in Northern Ireland |publisher=Northern Ireland Judicial Appointments Commission |date=April 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120118122017/http://www.law.qub.ac.uk/schools/SchoolofLaw/Education/handbooks/Filetoupload%2C150353%2Cen.pdf |archive-date=2012-01-18 }}</ref>
