Miguel Reale was a Brazilian jurist and philosopher who lived from 1910 to 2006. He became a professor at the University of São Paulo in 1941 and served twice as its rector, in 1949 to 1950 and again from 1969 to 1973, also serving as São Paulo state secretary of justice in 1947 and founding the Brazilian Institute of Philosophy in 1949. Reale is best known for his three-dimensional theory of law, which holds that legal systems operate simultaneously on a sociological plane of social facts, an axiological plane of values, and a normative plane of legal rules, with a social fact valued producing a legal standard. He played a major role in drafting Brazil's 2002 Civil Code and took part in constitutional review commissions during Brazil's military period.

Why did Miguel Reale say law cannot be studied as only fact or only norm?
Because fact, value and norm are all essential dimensions of law and cannot be sliced apart without losing its legal character.
Reale's three-dimensional theory treats fact, value and norm as three interdependent factors that together make law a social structure that is both value-laden and normative, and he held that all three must always be read against the cultural setting of the society where they appear. Because each is an essential dimension of law, law cannot be cut into slices without damaging the specifically legal character of the inquiry. For that reason his theory seeks the unity of the legal phenomenon rather than a view that reduces it to one element.
