How to address a lady/female judge presiding in civil court

I am pleading "in person" in a Civil Suit at City Civil Court. Normaly Male Judges are addressed as

"YOUR HONOR" but now since the Presiding Judge is a Lady / Female, Please guide me how shall I address her - "YOUR LADYSHIP" is correct, or there is any other suitable title to address her in the Court? Thanks.

You can address her by my Lady, my Ladyship. Your Ladyship is also correct.

generally "your ladyship" is used for high court and above. but there is certainly no harm if you address her this way.
