No, the liver does not store digestive juices. That would be the pancrease.
HOWEVER, the liver does synthesize bile. This is not a digestive juice, but it does emulsify fat. Basically, this means that it breaks it down so that the surface area of the fact increases, exposing more of the fat to the enzymes. This will enable the enzymes to operate more efficiently.
However, bile is not stored in the liver, it is only synthesized there. Bile is stored in the gallbladder.

The pancreas works with the small intestine because it makes digestive juices that are sent into the small intestine. The juices help break down food.
