Law/Patents - Law (general) / epithet, law

Italian term or phrase: Il Giudice, Dott.ssa xxxx

Hi all,
I'm translating this sentence:
"il Giudice, Dott.ssa xxxx, visti gli atti ed esaminata la richiesta [...]"
In Italy every graduate gets the title of Dottore/Dottoressa, but I know that in Eng you are addressed as Doctor only if you studied medicine.
So, what kind of epithet is used for judges? Shall I just omit it or use Mr/Ms?
"The Judge, Ms. xxxx"
"The Judge, xxxx"

p.s. the judge in question is a G.I.P. (preliminary investigations judge)

Can somebody help?
Thanks :-)

Explanation:
There are many ways to address a judge and it depends not only on which English-speaking country this Judge is in, but also on the level of court they work in (magistrates/supreme/county/etc.).

Reference: The late Mr. Justice 'Dr. med' Ormrod

Reference information:
Lord Justice of Appeal in London. Though a qualified medical doctor and heard mainly medical negligence and sex-change cases, never had his titles prefixed Dr. whilst progressing through the judicial ranks.

However, his medical background was well-known by the legal profession throughout the Brit. Isles.
