Judicial power refers to the constitutional authority granted to courts to hear cases, interpret laws, and determine their constitutionality. This power was established and defined in Marbury v Madison, which made the judiciary a co-equal branch of government with the ability to check legislative and executive actions.
Judicial power determines the role of courts in American government and their ability to protect constitutional rights and limit government power.
People think judicial power means judges can do whatever they want. Judicial power is limited to interpreting law, not making policy or enforcing decisions.
