The law purpose of the law was to bring people to the realisation that they could not keep the law, they could not be righteous before God and were therefore dependant on God for salvation. The scribes and pharisees did not see that they had a need they thought their works were good enough to put them right with God.
Also the Pharisees thought they did keep the law and were the 'spiritual' men. But again and again in the gospels Jesus condemns them for their pious attitude.
Mat 23:5 But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments.
Mat 23:6 They love the best places at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,

Most early Christians didn't like the Pharisees, partially because they acted very stuck-up, like they mattered more to God and to the king than anyone else. The Christians also didn't particularly like them because the were sneaky and would try to find fault in one's every move. This is very apparent with Jesus, especially when he'd go to the temple and heal people or do work on he Sabbath, which was against the law of Moses. The Pharisees would often try to trick him or accuse him of blasphemy for claiming that God was his father. And the high priests and the Pharisees were basically the same thing.
