conclusion + of + law
Knowing 'conclusion' (a judgment) and 'law' (statute/regulation) gives a learner a clear general sense that this phrase refers to a judgment about the law, so the components point toward the overall idea. However, the expression is a technical legal term (distinct from findings of fact) whose precise procedural meaning and implications are domain-specific and may not be fully predictable to a B1 learner without legal exposure.
Etymology
Conclusion of law is a legal image: a judge looks at the rules (law) and reaches a clear conclusion about how those rules should be used in a case. So, it means 'a decision by a judge about how the law applies'.
