Judicial review is the power of a court to declare null and void acts of the government that are contrary to the Constitution. It is not an exclusive right of the U.S. Supreme Court, as lower federal courts and state courts also have this power. While it can be controversial, there is no indication in the question that this is a defining characteristic of judicial review.
