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.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
