Under the doctrine of the separation of powers, it is one of the three branches of government. The primary function of the judiciary is to adjudicate legal disputes.

The Supreme Court's primary check on the other branches of government is "judicial review," the ability of the Court to analyze the laws and actions underlying cases presented under its appellate jurisdiction to ensure they comply with the Constitution. Judicial review gives the Supreme Court the power to declare a law unconstitutional, which renders it null and void and thus, unenforceable.
