No, she doesn't respect him. She wants to appear polite to the Judge. Heck, she's kissing up to him...
This has been bugging me so I took a closer look.
She started to write "R" for Rittenhouse or Rossenbaum, erased it, then wrote "Mr" over it. Look closely at "M" in "Mr". There's a ghosting of the letter "R". Being polite was an afterthought.
She did misspell "Rittenhowse".
I noticed the erasures. They must not have very many sheets at the ready. I would have started a fresh one.
