translate a sentence using "the Honorable" when referring to a judge

How would you say "the Honorable" when referring to a judge? I am trying to translate the following sentence: The Honorable Roberto Rodriguez, who sits on the United States Federal Court Bench, has agreed to speak at lunch.

Here is my first attempt at translating the above sentence:

El Honorable Roberto Rodriguez quien se sienta en el Banco de Tribunal Federal de los Estados Unidos ha consentido en presentar durante el almuerzo.

No me suena muy bien "sentarse en el banco", porque en español, los que se sientan en el banquillo son los acusados. Me gusta la versión de Annie. Yo diría:

El Honorable Juez Don Roberto Rodríguez, miembro del Tribunal Federal de los Estados Unidos, ha accedido a hablar durante el almuerzo.

Cordobesa, you'v made me very happy, I didn't like sentarse either, it sounds like sitting on apark bench outside the Court.. - annierats, Mar 19, 2012
I feel immensly pleased if apart of my version was useful. Immensly, this was some way off my usual subjects. - annierats, Mar 19, 2012

The Honorable Roberto Rodriguez, who sits on the United States Federal Court Bench, has agreed to speak at lunch.

Don Roberto Rodríguez , un miembro del tribunal federal del Estados Unidos, dará un oracíon durante el almuerzo.

This is just a suggestion, I don't know about the Honorable, nor the Court Bench.. Await more help!

Seria mejor agregar la palabra juez después de honorable:

El Honorable Juez Roberto Rodriguez. Quien se sienta en el Banco de Tribunal Federal de los Estados Unidos ha accedido hablar en el almuerzo.

Espero haber resuelto tu interrogante.!

I used an online translator for this so I'm pretty sure it's right.

                      **ENGLISH**

The Honorable Roberto Rodriguez, who sits on the United States Federal Court Bench, has agreed to speak at lunch.

                     **SPANISH**

El Honorable Roberto Rodríguez, quien se sienta en el banco de los Estados Unidos Tribunal Federal, se ha comprometido a hablar en el almuerzo.
