Judicial review is the process that lets the Supreme Court decide whether lower court decisions and laws are in keeping with the intent of the constitution.
In theory, any court can decide this, but only the decisions of the US Supreme Court are binding in regards to the US constitution (for State constitutions, the state's Supreme Court is generally the final arbiter... the US Supreme Court might rule that a particular provision in a state's constitution is not compatible with the US constitution, but usually will let the state court decide for itself in strictly internal matters.)
