We're no longer "under" it, it might be good to define what "under" means. I consider it to be our foundation instead of our condemnation. It's under us instead of over us.
The law points out sin. Sin is the transgression of the law. And while Paul does say we're no longer "under" the law, he also says, that as new creatures, we should no longer continue in sin.

Logically...the law has a part to play in the christian's life. And by "law", I mean God's 10 commandments.
"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone."
"For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."

There are laws that were done away with at the cross, such as circumcision and food laws, etc. Paul talks about the laws that were for the "jews" quite extensively. It's very clear when he says "circumcision" is no longer required, but I don't see him say that "stealing" is allowed now.
