In [[Brazil]], judges are simply called "Juiz" or "Juíza" (male and female forms of "judge") and traditionally addressed to as "Vossa Excelência" ({{literally|[[Your Excellency]]}}, translated as 'Your Honor') or "Meritíssimo" ('Honorable', but it is used as a pronoun also translated as 'Your Honor'). Judges that are part of a panel in a State Court, or Federal Court are called "desembargadores". Judges sitting in the higher courts ([[Supremo Tribunal Federal]], [[Superior Tribunal de Justiça]], [[Superior Labor Court|Tribunal Superior do Trabalho]], Superior Tribunal Militar and [[Tribunal Superior Eleitoral]]) are called "ministro" or "ministra" (male and female forms of "minister") and also referred to as "Vossa Excelência".
