Everything about De Jure totally explained
De jure (in
Classical Latin de iure) is an expression that means "of
law", as contrasted with
de facto, which means "in fact".
The terms
de jure and
de facto are used instead of "in principle" and "in practice", respectively, when one is describing
political or legal situations.
In a legal context,
de jure is also translated as "by law". A practice may exist
de facto, where for example the people obey a contract as though there were a law enforcing it yet there's no such law. A process known as "
desuetude" may allow de facto practices to replace obsolete laws. On the other hand, practices may exist de jure and not be obeyed or observed by the people.
Social sciences and other usages
As a logical
complement of "
de facto", where "de facto" has a more generic acceptance (not so restrictive as at legal context), like in
social sciences.

de facto standards and
other usages.
