One of the benefits of listening to Advisory Opinions (particularly, the latest episode) is learning about such court cases as the 1971 case United States ex rel. Gerald Mayo v. Satan and His Staff. Of course, there's a wikipedia page on the case, with a link to wikisource which gives the decision of the court. The decision is brief, dismissing the case on procedural grounds.
I wish I had known about this case a few months ago, so that I could have mentioned it somewhere in my book on Satan, which will be coming out in the summer from ACU Press. (More on that later.)
The wikipedia page for this case also links to another page, Lawsuits against Supernatural Beings, which summarizes a few actual cases—though none proceeded very far—against the devil and against God.
