Bonjour,
Je sollicite votre aide pour apporter des éventuelles corrections sur mon oral d'anglais. En effet, j'ai un débat sur les différences et similitudes entre le système juridique américain et français (je suis en L3 Droit). J'ai donc préparé des arguments, des interventions, et mon rôle. Cependant, j'ai quelques interrogations sur quelques unes d'entre elles. En effet, si le sujet est très intéressant, le vocabulaire et expressions juridiques sont complexes à traduire. J'ai donc axé mes recherches sur des sites américains directement. Pouvez-vous corriger (et m'expliquer) mes fautes pour les phrases suivantes:
"I’m Kevin Clegg, I’m a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, and since 2009 I work as a civil rights attorney in Chicago, but I worked in France before. That's why I know all the differences and similarities between the two legal systems"
"In France, everything is hidden about justice. In USA, we think that it’s very important that the public can make his own opinion. I remind you that the district attorney is elected in USA, that’s why the public must be able to know, and follow the different cases for which there will be a trial. I don’t understand why French law prohibits the images of a person handcuffed until this person has been convicted. In US, the perp walk is traditional, it’s the practice of taking an arrested suspect through a public place at some point after the arrest, creating an opportunity for the media to take photographs and video of the event"
"In fact, the main difference between the two systems, French and American, is that in USA, we don’t have a prosecutor or equivalent, like in France. Indeed, we have a district attorney who is elected every four years, in order to represent represents the government in the prosecution of the suspect, and to gather evidences against him. Finally, he decides whether or not a case will go to trial"
"In USA, Civil system and Criminal system are totally different and independent. Indeed, a criminal case is brought by the federal government or a state to prosecute a defendant for violations of the government's criminal laws. Whereas, a civil case is brought by one party (the "plaintiff") against another party (the "defendant") to resolve a legal dispute involving rights based on statutory law or common law. So it’s totally different. That’s why, for instance, a person can be find not guilty during a criminal trial, but then, for the same case, the civil judges can award damages at the victim.".
Merci d'avance.

Merci de votre réponse ! Je ne comprends pas vos remarques s'agissant de la phrase soulignée en bleu. J'ai corrigé en rouge, et expliqué en vert.

Hello
"In France, everything about the criminal justice system is hidden. In the USA, we think that it’s very important that the public form (subjunctive) its own opinion. I remind you that the District Attorney
