A more thorough explanation: In legal English, the term “COG” may refer to “Certificate of Good Standing.” This is a document issued by a state official, usually the Secretary of State, confirming that a business entity is in compliance with all state requirements, such as filing annual reports and paying necessary fees. The COG serves as proof that the entity is authorized to do business in that state and is in good standing with the state authorities.
Example: The court found that the defendant’s actions were a crucial COG in the conspiracy to commit fraud.
