Boloth vs Arthur Swine and Dine

The case Boloth vs Arthur Swine and Dine was a lawsuit filed by a lawyer named Aaron F. Shyster. The lawsuit claimed to be filed on behalf of the then newest Union Member the Boloth's who had joined the Union three days before the lawsuit was filed.

It claimed that the Arthur's Swine and Dine on Blue Moon Port III failed to provide facilities for the Boloth to eat, and so was discriminating against them.

The CEO of Arthur's successfully argued his case. After Arthur's CEO's argument, the defense also presented evidence that Mr Shyster had not had any contact with any Boloth either prior to filing the lawsuit or since then, and the first Boloth to step foot on Blue Moon did so about a month after the lawsuit had been filed, and three months before it came to court.

After hearing the arguments and seeing the evidence the case was dismissed with prejudice. Aaron F. Shyster was disbarred and prohibited from practicing law for ten years. He also had to spend some time doing community service.

The publicity around the case led to the "Common Sense Amendment of 4013."
