An unlawful order is one that is clearly outside the authority of the person giving it.

A lawful order is any order given by a superior officer. With the exception of orders that violate military regulation. A common misconception is that only certain people can give lawful orders and others give direct orders. The term "Direct Order" is actually informal and is not mentioned in the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). The UCMJ does point out that lawful orders are given by commisioned officers, warrant officers, noncommissioned officers, and petty officers in both Articles 90 and 91.

If you are in the military and you are given a lawful order which you refuse to obey, you are guilty of insubordination. You could end up in the brig/stockade (a fancy word for prison). If you are driving along and a cop holds up his hand for you to stop and you decide to keep going and appear to be running him down, he could pull out his gun and shoot you. It is usually better to obey a lawful order.
