These examples are best given by a description of the courts rulings in cases.
Marbury VS Madison (1803) made several points and is a good case to make a few points about:
"The question, whether and act, repugnant to the constitution, can become the law of the land, is a question deeply interesting to the United States; but happily, not of an intricacy proportioned to its interest. It seems only necessary to recognize certain principles, supposed to have been long and well established, to decide it. Certainly all those who have framed written constitutions contemplate them as forming the fundamental and paramount law of the nation, and consequently, the theory of every such government must be, that an act of the legislature repugnant to the constitution, is void. Thus, the particular phraseology of the constitution of the United Stats confirms and strengthens the principle, that a law repugnant to the constitution is void; and that courts as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument."
The court also stated in this case that; taking an oath to uphold the constitution, and then violating that oath (by some act, or law) is violating that oath, and therefore a crime (the quoted part of this is very long so not reproduced here).
This case established that the US Constitution was the supreme law of the land and every department of government, required to take an oath of office, was bound to follow the constitution, not the law (if they are clearly set against each other). It is an example of Judicial Power to rule any law passed by the representative branch as unconstitutional, as well as any action by the Executive branch as unconstitutional: making that act void.
Judicial power is the power that judges have. Two examples of Judicial power is 1. to make laws. 2. and to put people in jail for breaking them. Hope this helps!

***the judiciary branch does not make laws. Lawmaking is the role of the Legislative branch. the Judiciary branch does have the right to say if the law is constitutional or unconstitutional. it is all part of the checks and balance system

Judicial review
An example of judicial power is a judicial review. Judicial review is an example of the functioning of separation of powers in a modern governmental system. If you didn't know, when people are unsure about the meaning of a law, the judicial branch listens to many opinions and makes a decision. The judicial branch is made up of courts. The highest of these courts is the US Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is made up of 9 judges. They meet at the Supreme Court building in Washington, DC.
An item that is an example of Presidential Judicial power is the ability of the President of the United States to appoint a member to the Supreme Court. The power to veto a law is also an example of judicial power.
Judicial activism is when judges user their power to further justice. This is as opposed to judicial restraint which is when a judge limits their power.
It gave the judicial branch power to use judicial review
Judicial review
One example of judicial restraint is Gibbons vs. Ogden. In this case, the Supreme Court held that the power to regulate interstate commerce was granted to Congress by the Commerce Clause of the Constitution. This is seen to be an example of judicial restraint because it restrained its power within congress to regulate interstate commerce and they were not exercising their power outside of any law or ruling. They found no violation in the Constitution from this case.
