Since a corporation is a fictional person, one would think that the only way it could "appear" would be through an attorney.

Any representative for the company can appear.
Very large companies, especially those that deal with consumers, are sued several times a day, mainly in small claims courts. It would be incredibly expensive to send an attorney for each case.
