You Honor!
or “Your Honors!” in a panel hearing
While “May it please the Court” is a standard phrase, it is only used in the opening statements by each of the parties.
During the course of the hearing there are a lot of times attorneys and prosecutors have to address the court, and therefore “Your honor” is a more appropriate option for this.

May it please the Court.
It has long been tradition to begin oral arguments with some variation of the phrase, “May it please the Court.” But Bryan A. Garner, editor-in-chief of Black’s Law Dictionary, recently asked active judges whether they felt the phrase was an outdated formalism or a welcome sign of professionalism. The general consensus was summed up by Ninth Circuit judge Susan Graber: “Its absence is always more notable than its presence, so I prefer lawyers saying May it please the Court.”

Conduct and etiquette: Appellate advocacy is extremely formal, and the following rules apply:
1. Always begin your presentation to a court by saying, "May it please the court...." Next, always state your name and who you represent. These are immutable.
2. Always address the judge to whom you are speaking as "Your Honor," and refer to another judge as "Judge so-and-so." If the case is before the United States Supreme Court all members of the panel will be addressed as "Justice."
3. Always call your opponent by name, or "counsel for Appellant." Never say "my opponent," because we do not admit on an overt level the adversarial nature of this thing. We see it as a meeting of learned colleagues to iron out a knotty legal problem.

Ladies and gentlemen!
just for this kind of situation, when you mention common legal science and wish to address your statement collectively to the whole composition of the Court, including the Jurors.
