What Supreme Court decision established the Supreme Court power of judicial review?

To decide whether the preceding court correctly decided the case in accordance with law. The appellate court decides whether the preceding court's decisions correctly decided the law in accordance with the facts, whether there were serious errors, or whether the court did something wrong. If there are no errors the appellate court upholds or confirms the prior decision. Otherwise it sends it back to the trial court with instructions and potential retrial. Sometimes it finds the decision totally wrong and discards it altogether, potentially because the case should not have been tried or because there was no case.

First, you have to figure out which court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of the complaint. If both state and federal courts have jurisdiction (as they often do) then you would consider which court system you prefer based on the court fees, procedural rules, propensities of the judges, etc.


What happens if the judges on court of appeals decide a trial was unfair?

Actually a court of appeals cannot decide that. A court of appeals can only decide whether or not the trial court correctly followed procedures and existing legal precedence. It is entirely possible for procedures and legal precedence to be completely unfair (they have been many times) but if the trial court properly followed them, the court of appeals must support the trial court's decision. If the court of appeals decides that the trial court failed to follow procedures and/or existing legal precedent, then the case must be retried in a trial court.
