This United States Supreme Court and Michigan Supreme Court are clear in unauthorized practice of law and void judgment and Order. The US Supreme Court emphatically articulated in, Rowland v. Calif. Men's Colony, 506 U.S. 194, 201-203 (1993). It has been the law for the better part of two centuries . . . that a corporation may appear in the federal courts only through licensed counsel. Osborn v. President of Bank of United States, 9 Wheat. 738, 829, 6 L.Ed. 204 (1824); see Turner v.
