How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Calvelli, Andrew is listed with the New York Broadway, NY Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 21.2% 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 (539 decided, 4.6% grant rate), Dominican Republic (245 decided, 1.6% grant rate), and Guatemala (203 decided, 6.9% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
