Addressing UK magistrate as &quot;My Lord&quot;
<p>Is it legal to call a magistrate “My lord”?</p>

<p>It isn’t illegal, it’s just wrong.</p>

<p>The correct way to <a href="https://www.judiciary.uk/you-and-the-judiciary/what-do-i-call-judge/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">address</a> a magistrate in a UK court is “Your Worship” or “Sir/Madam”.</p>

<p>“My Lord/Lady” is only for HIgh Court judges and above.</p>
