Yeah, but the preposition used in a title seems kind of random. Why don't we have "mother of laws" instead of "mother in laws?"

That still wouldnt make sense.
Chief of staff = refers to authority over, hence 'of'. Mother in Law = is a relationship within the law, i.e recognised as a legal relationship through marriage. To make it Mother 'of' law would place that mother above, over law. |

How about Chief of the Mother(fuckers)s Of Staff?
Eh, I got nuttin'. Except, if you go in a house, you might be urinating on the carpet or some such thing. You go into a house. Is this relevant? Certainly not!
