How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

John T. Driscoll is listed with the Los Angeles, CA Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 22.9% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Mexico (27 decided, 0.0% grant rate), El Salvador (14 decided, 0.0% grant rate), and Cameroon (8 decided, 87.5% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
