Illegitimate means lacking legal or traditional rights: illegitimate use of privileged information.

Illicit most often applies to matters regulated by law with emphasis on the way things are carried out: illicit conversion of property.

Unlawful means not sanctioned by law: an unlawful claim to an inheritance.” From, Abused, Confused & Misused Words” By: Mary Embree

“You can do anything. That’s the message I want to give. It’s not about being a basketball player, and it’s not about being a doctor or being a lawyer. It’s about finding something that you love to do, cultivate it, work hard at it and make a life better for you.” -Chris Webber
