Debrett's uses "Lady Justice" - where does it say that women are still "Lord Justice"? Proteus (Talk) 08:02, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * The Dept of Constitutional Affairs] claims that "The Right Honourable Lord Justice Doe" is used "officially," whilst "The Right Honourable Lady Justice Doe" is used "informally." -- Emsworth 01:47, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)


 * How interesting. I suppose it makes sense, though, as "Lord" is just as much an adjectice in "Lord Justice" as it is in "Lord Chancellor", and we wouldn't call a female one of them "Lady Chancellor". Proteus (Talk) 13:17, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)


 * The relevant matter for how she is styled (as opposed to the name of the office she holds) is covered at http://www.dca.gov.uk/judicial/senjudfr.htm under "Forms of Address".Lords Justices are called Lady Justice So-and-So if female.--L.E./le@put.com/12.144.5.2 19:25, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The new Judiciary of England and Wales website seems to have removed this "official"/"informal" distinction. I remember reading recently (though I'm afraid I can't remember where) something to the effect of "until recently, female Lords Justices of Appeal were officially styled "Lord Justice X"", because that was the form used in the Act of Parliament creating the position, but it seems now to have changed.

 * She is certainly styled "Lady Justice" in official documents and orally by lawyers. As to the point about a "Lady Chancellor", I concur, given that Lady Hayman is called the "Lord Speaker". But I think that it is entirely feasible that a future female Lord Chief Justice (Lady Justice Hallett, maybe, after Lord Judge?) would be known as the "Lady Chief Justice". I have seen this title written down somewhere in a legal text. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.222.231.37 (talk) 22:50, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
