No .. a law is a phenomenon that has been observed many times, and no contrary examples found, it is accepted as a universal phenomenon.
A theory, on the other hand, is an explanation of an observed phenomenon. Theories do not become laws, no matter how much evidence they accumulate, because they are explanations of phenomena, not the phenomena themselves.
