For discussion of the legal field and legal news

Rules
  1. No editorialized titles. Fairly summarizing a direct link to a court opinion is allowed.
  2. Discussion of specific cases must either link to the opinion itself or an article containing a link to the opinion.
  3. Articles cannot be primarily concerning politics. Obviously laws themselves are written by politicians, and many legal cases have political effects, but posts must be focused on the laws themselves.

Suppose a law is named something like “The Royal Decree of June 14, 2018 regulating the Distribution of Pharmaceuticals and Vitamins”. If a document needs to refer to that law more than once, it makes a mess and causes some painful reading. How should something like that with a date be abbreviated?
