In law and government, de jure (/ d eɪ ˈ dʒ ʊər i, d i-/ day JOOR-ee, dee -⁠; Latin: dē iūre pronounced [deː ˈjuːrɛ], “by law”) describes practices that are legally recognised, regardless of whether the practice exists in reality. In contrast, de facto (“in fact”) describes situations that exist in reality, even if not legally recognised.

Idem sonans is a legal doctrine whereby a person’s identity is presumed known despite the misspelling of his or her name. The presumption lies in the similarity between the Phonology, or sounds of the correct name and the name as written. Such similar-sounding words are called a homonym, while similar-sounding phrases or names would be a holorime.
