Template:Cite Polish law/doc

Usage
This template allows for the easy citing and linking to acts of Polish law published in either of the Polish legal gazettes, Dziennik Ustaw or Monitor Polski. It automatically creates a link to the relevant act in the ISAP (Internetowy System Aktów Prawnych) database.

Any act of Polish law can be identified by the gazette title (or its abbreviation: Dz. U. or M.P.), year of publication, volume (numer, nr, vol.) and number (pozycja, poz., No.). Since 2012 Polish laws have only been published online, while publication on paper has been discontinued. Consequently, the volume number is not assigned to acts of law published since 1 January 2012.

Note: ISAP contains acts of Polish law published since 1918. It does not contain acts published by the Polish government-in-exile.
