All US Supreme Court justices, except the Chief Justice, are addressed as "Justice [Last Name]." In the past, Associate Justices were addressed and referred to as "Mr. Justice [Last Name]"; however, this practice ended when the first woman, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, joined the bench in 1981.

A female Chief Justice would be addressed by title, as "Chief Justice [Last Name]."
