Put bluntly, will cryptography put lawyers out of business?
Even in a cryptoanarchy I would want to treat customers kindly and I would want to make sure that in any agreement that both parties are clear as to when we are complying or not. A lawyer might help in complex cases. Especially if UCC is referenced. And in some kinds of escrow a "judge" might be invoked if there is a despute. The judge might be a lawyer or might bring in a lawyer as an expert. The nature of the work of a lawyer in a crytoanarchy might be very different. Lawyers might even become highly respected and liked!
