Reference no: EM133321281

Assignment:

Federal judges are not an elected body - they are appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. And, yet, they have judicial review - the ability to interpret laws - and have a large impact on our legal system. In fact, they have intervened when laws did not treat citizens fairly. For example, Brown v. Board of Educationof Topeka.
