What is the difference between legal law and moral law?

Answer:
"Legal law" are the rules that you must follow or be punished by a government.

"Moral law" are the rules that you must follow or be punished by your conscience or Creator.

Usually a person will follow one or the other, but not both. And you can tell a lot about a person by which he/she follows.
