De jure translates from Latin to English as, "to law." As an adverb, de jure refers to conditions created by enacted law, as opposed to "de facto," conditions created by social or economic circumstances, but not by law.

For example, the US Supreme Court declared de jure racial segregation [enacted laws] unconstitutional, but many inner-city schools suffer de facto segregation because the school district serves an area populated by lower income African-American families.
