Law in action is a legal theory, associated with legal realism, that examines the role of law, not just as it exists in the statutes and cases, but as it is actually applied in society. Law in action scholars often start with observations about the behavior of institutions and work "backwards" toward the legal philosophies guiding courts and traditional jurisprudence. As Kenneth B. Davis, Jr., Dean of the University of Wisconsin Law School has stated, "'Law in Action' . . . means that in teaching and research, no matter how interesting we find a legal theory, we always need to ask, 'How does this affect people's lives in the real world?'"

| - Die Rechtstatsachenforschung untersucht die tatsächlichen Erscheinungs- und Verwirklichungsformen des Rechts im sozialen Leben. Dieses Teilgebiet der Rechtswissenschaften bedient sich häufig der Methoden der empirischen Sozialforschung. Die Anwendungsbereiche dieser Forschungsrichtung sind vielfältig und betreffen nahezu alle Lebensbereiche. Deren Ergebnisse sind für die Rechtspolitik eine wesentliche Orientierungshilfe. Ursprünglich waren mit Rechtstatsachen jene Tatsachen gemeint, die „hinter den Normen“ stehen, jene Erscheinungsformen, in denen das Recht in der gesellschaftlichen Praxis tatsächlich zur Erscheinung gebracht wird. Die neuere Rechtssoziologie hat diesen Begriff aufgegriffen. (de)
