“Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.”
So the law was put in charge of us to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. — the law's role as 'paidagōgos' (child-minder, guardian, escort) is revealed: it was meant to lead us to Christ, the pedagogue bringing the student to the teacher; justification's final ground is faith in Christ, not continued law-submission.
