Abstract
In Egyptian law, the notion of the person isformulated in statute law, used in case-law,and practiced in what is called ``law inaction. It is closely associated with theconcept of legal capacity and incapacity. Thisarticle concentrates on legal practices relatedto the person as they emerge from actual legalinteractions in judicial contexts. This willlead to propose a praxiological approach to thenorm, the law, and the following of a rule.Such praxiological sociology allows to observelaw, i.e. both language and action, as itactually operates and this in turn makespossible the contextual understanding of themany categories which are used in legalsettings, in a way that tries neither toprovide analytical constructs running againstthe many knowledges of law nor to providedefinitions of what law is which would bealternative to professionals' and laypeople's.
