Really. It can't be done. Go ahead. Try it. I don't like to lose so I'll represent Satan (as long as he pays). What? You think I'm joking? I have persuasive authority that Satan is immune from suit, much like the immunity granted to the States by the 11th Amendment. (ok not EXACTLY like the 11th Amendment, but in a much unholier-than-thou way)
Still don't believe me huh? For all you legal scholars out there, I invite you to examine the case brought in the Western District of PA, United States ex rel. Gerald Mayo v. Satan And His Staff (54 F.R.D. 282). (If you don't have Westlaw Access, then look here)
What you may notice is that judge held that plaintiff would not be granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis who in view of questions of personal jurisdiction over defendant, propriety of class action (a lot of people want to sue Satan), and plaintiff's failure to include instructions for directions as to service of process (where the hell is Hell?...Michigan).
What does this mean? Satan has no address. Apparently "HELL" is not a place where the prince of darkness (no not Mike Cameron's son) can be served.
So there you have it. If you sign a contract with the devil, you do so at your own risk. You will lose your soul with nothing to show for it. That is a FACT.
