An example of 'de facto' and 'de jure' is the Islamic justice system of Afghanistan through the Taliban. Before the Taliban came to power, their justice was 'de facto', but not backed up by the existing laws, and therefore not 'de jure'. Once the Taliban came to power, their system was 'de jure'. But nowadays, their system of justice is back to 'de facto' wherever it isn't in accord with the established legal system.
