A corporation must be represented by an attorney. Look it up in your state statues.

"can a corporation represent itself in court?"
*** That would partly depend on what court. Some states prohibit a corporation from pro se representation. The reason is... a corporation is not a person... it is a business entity. As such, an individual not an attorney would be in violation of UPL laws if he/she were to represent the 'other' entity (the corporation).

However, a cursory review of the Georgia Code did not find such a limitation.

I would suggest you contact a local attorney to obtain a definitive answer to your question.

BTW, contact me off-forum about the NJN.
