Hello rudder,
Ground mode of Normal Law, yes. - for about 5 seconds until flight mode has blended in. Direct Law it ain't. Next time you're in the simulator have the rad alts failed, select flap 2, put the gear down and raise the flap to 1. Fly along at about F speed and then rotate to 15 degees nose up with TOGA. That should demonstrate the difference between Normal Law Ground Mode and Direct Law.
