Yes.

The longest chapter in the Bible is all about how great somebody thinks God’s Law is. One of the things he says about it is that he can walk about in freedom as a result of always seeking and obeying the law.

Paul says being under the law kills you… but dying frees you from the law. So the law does give you freedom. From itself. Paul also says the law of the Spirit sets you free from the law of death. That seems to contradict what he said about the law killing you, unless “the law of the Spirit” is something different from the Law from God that he was talking about before… but either way, he is still saying the law frees you. And James too says the law gives freedom if you follow it.

No.

But James also says you’re going to be judged by this law that “gives freedom”, so you’d better speak and act the way the law tells you to. If the law is going to constrain how people act, how can he say it gives freedom?

Paul says before Christianity arrived, people were “locked up” and “held in custody under the law“. He says Jesus wants them to be free, so he warns his followers to refuse to be slaves to God’s law. He claims that obeying just one law would make you obligated to obey the whole Law. So that’s the opposite of giving you freedom.
