A quick definition of cognitor:

Term: COGNITOR

Definition: In ancient Rome, a cognitor was someone who was chosen to represent another person in a legal case. This means that if someone had to go to court, they could choose someone they trusted to speak for them and make decisions on their behalf. It's kind of like having a lawyer today, but in ancient Rome, it was a formal appointment and the cognitor had a lot of power to act on behalf of the person they were representing.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: In Roman law, a cognitor is a person who is officially appointed to represent another individual in a civil trial.

Example: If someone is unable to attend a civil trial, they may appoint a cognitor to represent them in court. The cognitor will act on behalf of the absent individual and make legal decisions in their best interest.

This term is similar to the term "procurator," which also refers to a person appointed to represent someone else in a legal matter. However, a procurator can represent someone in both civil and criminal cases, while a cognitor is only appointed for civil trials.
