Seth Hufstedler Obituary

September 20, 1922 - December 20, 2024 Seth was born in Oklahoma, lived in California, traveled the world, and retired at the age of 101. He was a cryptographer in WWII, graduated at the top of his Stanford Law class (without applying for admission), traveled to Nepal 13 times, celebrated his 87th birthday on top of Mount Whitney, and climbed to the King's Chamber in the Great Pyramid at the age of 98. His legal career is legendary, and well described by the LA County Bar Association's tribute. He will be greatly missed.

My first job after college was as a paralegal at the firm of Hufstedler, Miller, Carlson & Beardsley. What a remarkably kind and generous man Seth Hufstedler was to me.
