chaotic evil and neutral evil are different but can slip into similar patterns, lawful evil is very different from either.

chaotic evil does whatever it pleases.

neutral does what is necessary to gain victories.

lawful evil will seek victories but always follows a code.

chaotic = completely unpredictable, goes back on their word and is out purely for themselves (Gollum: "Smeagol lied!")

neutral = will betray if it suits them but in general work better with others than chaotic, they aren't sworn to keep oaths or codes like lawful.. neither are they going to necessarily murder you in your sleep for no real reason like a chaotic would (if the mood suited them).

lawful = will do whatever they can to get a "one up" on others but seeks to do so in a methodical way, you can tell what a lawful being is going to do and their goals : they will usually keep deals and order.. they won't shy from killing or worse but they'll make you perfectly aware of their intentions.. while neutral and chaotic will both pretend to be friends if needed, then betray.. lawful tends to be honest and to the word : a dictator will execute his enemies but he'll at least be honest about it.. while a neutral will execute someone that gets in the way and a chaotic will execute anyone that happens to annoy them sufficiently.
