Kid printed leaflets and binding legal documents (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

contracts

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'binding legal documents' is the definition.
'contracts' can be an answer for 'documents' (contract is a kind of document). I am not sure about the 'binding legal' bit.

'kid printed leaflets' is the wordplay.
'kid' becomes 'con' (I've seen this in other clues).
'printed leaflets' becomes 'tracts' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'printed' bit.).
'con'+'tracts'='CONTRACTS'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for contracts that I've seen is " Legal agreements".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
