The opposite of Lawful Neutral is always chaotic neutral.  Neutral is its own opposition because it contradicts its own issues of morality, and is recessive to evil and good, chaos and law, so if one was neutral- or -neutral, the other alignment would show out more.  The description given was a character who was selfish.  He won't go out of his way to murder or rape someone, yet he would break the law because he felt like it.  D&D classifies this as CN.  A CG would only break that law if by following it would harm himself and/or others.  A NG would follow it blindly because they won't commit evil acts by that would result in chaos.  A neutral wouldn't care in the least, or try to reform it if it was too radical.  A LN would uphold it, a LE would use it to his own purposes when and if the situation arises, CE would murder the man who made this law if he could and could get away with it.</blockquote>
