The term "illegal" is also often used for actions that the law prohibits, but that give rise to civil liability, rather than criminal prosecution. We see such use a lot in questions on Law.SE. One also says that a person "is liable" when there are grounds for a civil suit against that person. One might also say that such a person "has commuted a tort" or "has civil liability" or "could be held liable". In the specific cases of copyright, trademark, and patent law, one says that a violator "his infringed" or has committed infringement" and that an act contrary to those laws "is an infringement".

“Illegal” is not limited to criminal matters
Illegal and unlawful are synonymous and refer to any conduct which is in breach of any law. So:
- Murder is illegal and a crime
- Stopping in a No Stopping zone is illegal and a civil offence
- Breaking a contract is illegal and exposes the breacher to civil damages
