Morphology
This compound is compositionally transparent: a learner who knows 'law' and 'school' can infer that 'law school' is a school for studying law. The modifier+noun pattern is common in English and other languages, so the meaning is predictable to a B1 learner even if 'school' often connotes children in other contexts.
Etymology
Law school comes from putting together law and school, where law means the rules of a country and school means a place to learn. So, law school simply means 'a school where people study to become lawyers'.
