Graphics`Legend`, one of the standard packages distributed
with Mathematica defines a couple of different approaches
to creating legends on plots.
It is documented in detail on pages 168-173 of the Guide
to Standard Mathematica Packages Technical Report.
Here is one example of its use drawn from the documentation:
Needs[ "Graphics`Legend`"]
Plot[ {Sin[x],Cos[x]}, {x, -2 Pi, 2 Pi},
PlotStyle -> {GrayLevel[0], Dashing[{.03}]},
PlotLegend -> {"Sine", Cosine"}]
I hope this helps.
