Abstract
This chapter has special focus on legal issues connected to risk analysis. When we are conducting risk analyses, we often need to understand and to take into account legal aspects in order to properly present the risk picture. This chapter introduces the notion of legal risk, and explains how we can decompose a risk analysis into a legal dimension and a factual dimension. The former is concerned with identifying relevant legal norms and the legal uncertainty of their impact on the general risk picture, whereas the latter is concerned with standard CORAS risk analysis. The general risk picture that takes legal aspects into account is derived by combining these dimensions. The chapter presents legal CORAS which is an extension of the CORAS language that facilitates the modelling of legal risks.
