Moses Lasky, 94, a prominent San Francisco trial lawyer whose clients included the Oakland Raiders and J. Paul Getty, died April 7 of complications from pneumonia at a San Francisco hospital.
Born in Denver, the son of Polish immigrants, Lasky entered the University of Colorado at the age of 14 and financed his education by selling books door to door. Before his 21st birthday, he had earned his bachelor's and law degrees. Too young to be admitted to the bar, Lasky enrolled at Harvard Law School, where he earned a master's degree.
