What is been used unlawful for decades, is the law used by law as it can be used for anything. In sports people can perform illegal moves. and when a computer crashes it will sometimes say that it performed an illegal operation.
Within the context of the law though, they both deal much more with the same subject than the same answers.
The New Oxford American Dictionary is described as “Contrary to or forbidden by law, especially criminal law”, and described unlawful as “not conforming to, permitted by or recognized by law or rules”. In American English, then illegal is used in phrases like illegal alien, where it means a person present in a country without official authorization and which is never replaced by unlawful. In some parts of this country, and particularly in the United States, is illegal (only in the sense that illegal is a national “non-resident”)
On looking at the Oxford English Dictionary, I found a note about the usage of illegal and unlawful;?
Is “illegal” and “unlawful” different, but they are often used interchangeably? What’s illegal is against the law, whereas an unlawful act merely contravenes the rules that apply in a particular context. But a handball is not and still is, despite being involved in soccer. If illegal are things, there is no harm in them: there is much social evil in them. A third word with similar meaning is illicit.

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 is a term that refers to another act that is illegal, but can also be a criminal act, such as money laundering.
Why these examples aren’t that cut and dry? How are they used?
This is an important definition and so far we’ve not really had it from the comments.
What exactly is the difference between Statute and Constitutional law and why we have a constitutional monarchy as defined by the UK Constitution Law? Constitutional Law includes Constitutional Instruments such as in 1215 Magna Carta or 1688 Declaration of Rights, both of which are a part of the US Constitution in addition to the US Constitution itself and common law. All things have a law per se. If there is a common law that takes precedence over the laws of other countries’, the term “Statutory Law” is a misnomer, more correctly it should be Statute Legislation, which can only be lawful if it follows the superiority of common law. So the terms “legal” and “lawful” (worth) refer to statute legislation and “religious” refers to a statute law. Lawful is higher than legal,
doesn’t it?
Very occasionally’ (C.O.D). S. Lewis?), one hears “unlawful” used in the sense of ‘Moral Law’, as opposed to’man made’ laws. Alternately, for practical purposes synonym, as already stated.
For all practical purposes, they are synonyms. Various sources describe possible minor differences, such as that illegal acts are criminal acts whereas unlawful acts may be contrary to some non-criminal law, like tort law or contract law; however, if you check actual usage, I doubt whether you will find much of a pattern in that regard. The Oxford English Dictionary gives one as a synonym of the other. How was that done? Unauthorized derived from “un-” and law; illegal, from Latin in- and Latin lex (“law”). “Unlawful” is mostly just a more formal or technical synonym. Usage may very well vary in different countries, since each country has its own legal system, even though British systems are often much alike.
