How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Johnson-Papillo, Carrie C. is listed with the New York City, NY Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 12.7% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Guatemala (760 decided, 1.8% grant rate), Ecuador (661 decided, 5.1% grant rate), and Honduras (292 decided, 7.9% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
