COGNOVIT
A written confession of an action by a defendant, subscribed but not sealed, and authorizing the plaintiff to sign judgment and issue execution, usually for a sum named.
It is given after the action is brought to save expense.
It differs from a warrant of attorney, which is given before the commencement of any action and is under seal. A cognovit actionem is an acknowledgment and confession of the plaintiff's cause of action against the defendant to be just and true.
