| | Judicial review - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The ultimate court for deciding the constitutionality of federal or state law under the Constitution of the United States is the Supreme Court of the United States. | | | The ultimate court for deciding the constitutionality of state law under state constitutions is the highest appellate court in each state -- usually called a Supreme Court, but also sometimes known as the Court of Appeals. | | | Judicial review of federal and state legislation for constitutionality is established by Section 76 of the Constitution of Australia, making the High Court of Australia the second court in the world to exercise this power, after the US Supreme Court. |

| | Court (judicial) - definition of Court (judicial) in Encyclopedia |
| | Some courts may function with a jury that make decisions about the facts before the court under the direction of the judge; in other courts, decisions of both fact and law are made by the judge or judges, this is particularly common in appellate courts where juries are unusual in most jurisdictions. | | | Appellate courts in common law jurisdictions are not finders of fact, so they do not use juries or hear evidence; that is the trial court's job. | | | The schedule of official court proceedings is called a docket; the term is also synonymous with a court's caseload as a whole. |
