Judicial power is literally the power of the court to apply a penalty. A court is empowered to make decisions by statutory law. The court may impose a penalty to the extent of the law. Some superior courts also have the power to overturn an action by a lower court, again within the powers permitted by applicable laws. A Supreme Court or High Court in some countries is the senior court jurisdiction, which has the judicial power to decide disputes created by appeals in lower courts |
Examples of Judicial Powers:
| A local court awards a penalty of $1000 against a person. The person appeals to the regional court, the next level of jurisdiction. The regional court upholds the local court's decision. The person appeals to the Supreme Court, which overturns the decisions of the lower courts. https://nationalparalegal.edu/conLawCrimProc_Public/Federalism/JudicialPowers.asp https://law.wustl.edu/sba/firstyearoutlines/constitutionallaw/Bagenstos/ConLaw-S05-Bagenstos-Romano.doc https://law.wustl.edu/sba/firstyearoutlines/constitutionallaw/Bagenstos/ConLaw-S05-Bagenstos-Romano.pdf |
