Render

n. In feudal law, "render" was used in connection with rents and her-iots. Goods subject to rent or heriot-serv-lce were said to lie in render, when the lord might not only seize the identical goods, but might also distrain for them. Cowell. v.

In practice

To give up; to yield; to return; to surrender. Also to pay or perform; used of rente, services, and the like.

Render judgment

To pronounce, state, declare, or announce the judgment of the court in a given case or on a given state of facts; not used with reference to judgments by confession, and not synonymous with "entering," "docketing," or "recording" the judgment. The rendition of a judgment is the judicial act of the court in pronouncing the sentence of the law, while the entry of a judgment is a ministerial act, which consists in spreading upon the record a statement of the final conclusion reached by the court in the matter, thus furnishing external and incontestable evidence of the sentence given and designed to stand as a perpetual memorial of its action.
