Answer:

No. A law is something that happens without fail every time when being tested, or when it happens in nature. A law does not attempt to explain why the thing occurs, it only states it. A scientific theory is not something that can be tested on and will receive the exact same outcome each time. A theory attempts to explain an action seen in nature. Theories can be subject to change if new scientific data and research comes out, whereas laws cannot.
