Ethical issues are based on what's wrong and right, whereas legal issues are based on the law.

Examples of Ethical Issues:

Toxic Workplace Culture

Unrealistic and Conflicting Goals

Discrimination

Harassment

Examples of Legal Issues:

Annexations

Personnel decisions (terminations and general compliance with County policies, as well as state and federal laws)

Court of Tax Appeals

And so on, I hope this gives you a better understanding of what the two are and what makes them different from each other.
