If something is unlawful, it means it is against the law, but not necessarily a criminal act; it can be a civil wrong, such as trademark infringement, for which the wrongdoer may be sued, but will unlikely face criminal prosecution.
Illegal describes an act that is unlawful and also a criminal act, such as drug trafficking. |

"Unlawful is against the law
Illegal is a sick bird
 "
Pmsl.....
unlawful means no crime is being committed against the law ....and illegal involves a crime being committed for which you can be charged
hope this clears up for the OP  |
