 INTRODUCTION
The United States legal system is the full interconnected system of
judicial, regulatory and governmental authorities who together
administer and enforce the laws of the United States, operate the judicial
system, and resolve judicial disputes and appeals. It consists of various
official bodies at the federal, state and local levels.

SCOPE AND SIGNIFICANCE

The US Constitution is the supreme law of the land. The Supreme Court
has the power to interpret it and preserve its supremacy by preventing its
violations by the Congress and the President. This provision has been
the basis of the judicial review power of the Supreme Court. “Judicial
Review " is the principle and authority which give the Supreme Court of
USA the power to reject or abrogate any law which is made by Congress
or states. According to this power Supreme Court of USA reject or
abrogate any law which does not suit or conform to the constitution of
USA or apposite the constitution of USA or violate the Constitution It
has come to be recognised as the most distinctive attribute and function
of the Supreme Court. As such, it can be said Judicial Review is the
power of the Supreme Court to determine the constitutional validity of
federal and state laws whenever these are challenged before it in the
process of litigation. It is the power to reject such laws as are held to be
it ultra vires.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Contemporary, methodologically rigorous evidence indicates that
racial bias continues to pervade the U.S. criminal justice
sentencing system. Usually, the effects of this bias are somewhat
hidden, and become most apparent for certain types of defendants,
such as young minority males, or for certain types of offenses,
such as drug and property crimes, or may even have less to do with
the race of the defendant than with the race of the victim, as the
evidence suggests in sexual assault and capital punishment cases.
Although racial bias in sentencing may be somewhat surreptitious,
the evidence indicates that it remains a very real part of the
process.
