Article I of the united states constitution deals specifically with the judicial branch of the united states. in this branch, judges carry out laws that are passed on to their branch. after this, they send it to the president, who can either veto it or declare it a national lawfor all people in the united states.
A Judge must have passed the relevant Bar exam, but I can find no law requiring the Judge to have actively practiced law prior to being appointed.
Yes the judicial branch is part of the Constitution's check's and balances. It allows bad laws passed by Congress and signed by the President to be declared unConstitutional. And the President chooses future judges but they have to be approved by Congress.
Most judges have first been lawyers. In fact, Federal and State judges usually are required to be lawyers, which means that they have attended law school and passed an examination. About 40 States allow nonlawyers to hold limited-jurisdiction judgeships, but opportunities are better for those with law experience. Federal administrative law judges must be lawyers and pass a competitive examination administered by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. Some State administrative law judges and other hearing officials are not required to be lawyers. All States have some type of orientation for newly elected or appointed judges. The Federal Judicial Center, American Bar Association, National Judicial College, and National Center for State Courts provide judicial education and training for judges and other judicial-branch personnel. General and continuing education courses usually last from a few days to 3 weeks. More than half of all States, as well as Puerto Rico, require judges to take continuing education courses while serving on the bench.
The judicial branch oversees the court system of the U.S. Through court cases, the judicial branch explains the meaning of the Constitution and laws passed by Congress. The Supreme Court is the head of the judicial branch.
The United States Constitution gives the Judicial Branch of the government the power to review all laws passed by the Legislative Branch. If the Supreme Court, which is composed of nine justices appointed for life by the president, finds that a law is unconstitutional, that law can't remain on the books.
the judicial branch has the sole power to declare if laws being passed follow the constitution.

to make sure that laws are passed out fairly
The Judicial Branch of government interprets and reviews laws passed by the legislature.
The judiciary interprets laws that were passed by the legislature, the executive enforces the laws that were passed by the legislature. The judiciary however is appointed by the executive and confirmed by the legislature. Any unconstitutional acts by any other branches of government can be declared as so by the judiciary only, which is called judicial review.
