Morphology
The meaning 'a student who is studying law' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'law' (the field of legal study) with 'student' (someone engaged in learning). This noun–noun composition is a common and predictable pattern cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Law student comes from the words law, meaning 'the rules of a country', and student, meaning 'a person who studies'. Picture someone sitting with big law books in a library — that image explains why it means 'a student who is studying law'.
