True, but being opposed to the concept of laws means that you’re more inclined to break laws to achieve your aims than to work within the law.
Chaotic in this context means that you consider the very concept of law an impediment to justice whereas “do good things regardless of whether they’re lawful or illegal” kind of behavior you’re ascribing to chaotic good is the textbook definition of NEUTRAL good.
