Par tradition, le secrétaire à la Justice est souvent appelé Attorney General. Cette appellation est souvent utilisée en français, bien qu'il ne soit pas erroné de dire secrétaire à la Justice. Notons, cependant, que l'Attorney General exerce essentiellement les fonctions de ministre de la Justice, avec aussi certaines attributions propres à un procureur général. Ne pas confondre ce titre avec celui de Grande-Bretagne, qui se traduit par procureur général. 1, record 2, French, - secr%C3%A9taire%20%C3%A0%20la%20Justice

Cette fonction est plus proche de celle de ministre de la Justice que de celle de procureur général, mais on ne peut guère parler de ministère aux États-Unis (Department of Justice se rend par département de la Justice). 2, record 2, French, - secr%C3%A9taire%20%C3%A0%20la%20Justice
