legal size

Taller than letter

Legal size refers to a standard paper dimension measuring 8.5 by 14 inches, commonly used in the United States for legal documents, contracts, and official forms.

It's longer than the more common letter size (8.5 by 11 inches): The contract was printed on legal size paper.

Legal size also describes folders, envelopes, and other office supplies designed to accommodate this paper format.
