Is this a real power?

Yes. Whoever wrote this article doesn't know very much, seeming to imply that it is outlawed everywhere in the US. There are quite a few states that specifically allow for Confession of Judgments. New Jersey and Pennsylvania are 2 of them.-- Davidwiz 20:28, 20 March 2007 (UTC) reply

I think the material on this page about the Solicitor General is doubtful, and I was unable to verify it. Please see the discussion at Talk:Solicitor General of the United States#Confession_of_judgment. — Mark Dominus ( talk) 17:51, 24 February 2011 (UTC) reply

This article deals only with state laws in the USA. It exists or at least existed in Victorian times also in English law, so it is quite possibly also dealt with in other English-derived legal systems either as something legal or illegal. Thryduulf ( talk) 00:12, 23 February 2013 (UTC) reply
