For example, if there's an 8.5" by 11" paper with font 7 posted in the hallway of a dorm, is it considered a legal notice which would be considered proper notification of a certain dorm rule?
Or, if one hasn't signed a sheet saying he or she has reviewed or agreed to a certain rule, how could they be held against a person if not clearly posted (e.g. via a large poster in the lobby numbered 1, 2, 3, etc.)?
Furthermore, common sense would seem to dictate that posting 500 words or so in tiny font is extremely unlikely to be read and therefore should not be considered public notice. Common sense would similarly seem to dictate a minimum font size that can be easily read by the vast majority of the population, in order for a notice on the wall to be considered legal. I really don't know anything about the laws on this matter.
I guess the question is, "Which public notices are people legally required to be aware of?" or "How are these determined?"
Thanks
