Best Answer
  • You address an envelope to the husband whose wife is a judge as: Mr. John Doe and Judge Jane Doe.

#1: When addressing a letter to couple in which one in the couple holds a high office (an elected office or as in this case ... a judge) or has an official rank (a member of the armed services) ... the person who holds the office or has the rank is always listed first.

#2: Judges are addressed as "The Honorable (Full Name)" on envelopes. You would call him "Judge (Surname)" in conversation, or "Your Honor" in court. but in writing a judge is "The Honorable".

#3: You don't say if the wife uses the same last name as the judge ... but if she does, most formally (and at The Protocol School of Washington we are always the most formal) she is addresses as "Mrs. (Surname)"

So the correct form is:

The Honorable John Doe

and Mrs. Doe
