Additionally a review of the courts power is warranted. This is good to know because despite how well legislation is crafted there will undoubtedly be gray areas. These areas will be filled in, that is to say further developed by the judiciary. Their job is to give life to legislation. Giving life is another way of saying interpreting the broader and sometimes ambiguous meaning of legislation and applying it to everyday life, via cases that are presented to them. Cases which are appealed reach their finial resolution at the appellate level. These cases then stand as precedent which lower courts in that jurisdiction most follow. This is in effect how court effect public policy. These policy determinations have great bearing on the attorneys and clients alike.
