Legal Question in Constitutional Law in Georgia

Re: Dejur Discrimination

de jure discrimination

as opposed to

de facto discrimination

Your teacher evidently did not know Latin or did not know how to pronounce it.

De jure indicates that something has been decided by law.

Look at all our English words beginning with jur-:

jury, juror, juridical, jurisprudence, juristic.

They all have something to do with the law.

De facto is something decided by the facts. The court -- a judge or jury -- might not even know about it.

De facto discrimination.

Go to versuslaw.com or findlaw.com and put the words "de jure" in the search tool:

Use the quotes around the two words OR

use de w/1 jure if you are in versuslaw.com

or de w/1 facto and see what you get.

You'll get loads of cites.

Have fun.
