How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Jeannopoulos, Amanda is listed with the New York City, NY Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 23.2% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Ecuador (433 decided, 8.3% grant rate), China (155 decided, 45.8% grant rate), and Guatemala (152 decided, 23.7% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.

Grant rate is calculated as granted / (granted + denied). Other procedural outcomes, including terminated, withdrawn, administratively closed, or removed cases, are tracked separately where available and are not treated as asylum grants.
