Re: Legal requirements for document accessibility?

I seem to remember a requirement that US contracts must br printed in type of at least 6 points; I can't cite a source, but it makes sense.
(Horror story: when the Honeywell doc group I worked in was laid off en masse and converted to contractors, I signed my contract only after reading it thoroughly and looking at the back to verify it was blank. Some time later, a colleague mentioned an onerous condition in the contract that I didn't recall, and said it was on the back. I looked again, and this time saw that the back was *crammed* with gray, 4-point type, which I'd completely missed when I looked the first time!)
