I would expect it to be illegal (I am also not a lawyer). It’s clumsy and stupid and unlikely to work, but if that was addressed as ATTENTION: COURT OFFICER or whatever, it would very clearly be an attempt to exert undue influence over the court.

Court is basically justice theater. The funny clothes, the formality, the titles, it’s all there to give the feeling of authority, which is vital to their actual authority. You can’t have people screwing around undermining that.
