Do not do that in the United States. Mr. [last name] works for the first time you meet them, but most will tell you to call them by their first name.Anonymous User wrote:I am an international student who will be summering at firm. In my country, we address partners as "partner x" and associates as "associate y." how do you address them in America? I think it would be weird calling them by their first name. is it?

1) addressing professors ("Professor Smith")
2) addressing your significant others' when meeting for the first time ("Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith")
3) addressing doctors in a professional setting ("Doctor Smith")
4) addressing judges, pretty much at any time ("Judge Smith" or "Justice Smith")
5) addressing elected legislators ("Senator Smith" or "Congressman Smith")
6) addressing elected executives ("Governor Smith" or "President Smith")
7) addressing clergy in certain religions ("Rabbi Smith")
8 ) addressing a superior military officer (or in similar cases like police or pilots)
When addressing senior coworkers, such as partners or executives, it is acceptable to use "Mr." or "Ms." (never "Mrs." for women) in conversation the first time, until they invariably tell you to call them by their first name. Never use "Mr." or "Ms." with a fellow non-executive, even if they are senior to you.
In written correspondence, it is acceptable to continue to use the honorific, again only for executives and partners. Indeed, it is always appropriate to use "Mr." or "Ms." in written correspondence with anyone with whom you are unfamiliar.
It is almost never appropriate to use a job title as an honorific, except in very limited cases where the honorific happens to coincide with the job title ("President," "Senator," "Congressman," etc).

#4 seems a bit misleading.. very few judges in america should be referred to as "Justice" - i believe only judges of a State or Federal Supreme Court, along with trial judges in NY, since its lowest trial court is the Supreme Court of NY. also, addressing them as "Your Honor" is rather commonrayiner wrote:In the U.S., in conversation, it's almost always appropriate to call someone by their first name, except in limited circumstances:

Came here to post this. Don't know if it's the pollen or what, but there's been way too much snark and way too little helpful info here lately.

I don't think it's misleading at all; a judge is "your honor" in court (never "Judge"), and always "Judge ____" outside of it.KeepitKind wrote:#4 seems a bit misleading.. very few judges in america should be referred to as "Justice" - i believe only judges of a State or Federal Supreme Court, along with trial judges in NY, since its lowest trial court is the Supreme Court of NY. also, addressing them as "Your Honor" is rather commonrayiner wrote:In the U.S., in conversation, it's almost always appropriate to call someone by their first name, except in limited circumstances:
