Re: Corporate Representation
Other than in small claims court, a corporation has
to be represented by an attorney. I am not aware
of any particular statute. I believe this is
extablished by case law. The reasoning is that since
a coroporation is a distinct legal entity, it would
be the unauthorized practice of law for anyone
other than an attorney to represent it.
