In effect therefore, the amended petition is filed and the action sought to be maintained by the PESI corporation, through its president, R. Jacobs, not a licensed Missouri attorney. To permit the corporation or the officer, as assignee of the corporation, to maintain litigation in the Missouri courts, through the device of an assignment would destroy the salutary principal that a corporation cannot act in legal matters or maintain litigation without the benefit of an attorney.
