How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Campanella, Lorianne is listed with the New York City, NY Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 30.3% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Honduras (258 decided, 18.2% grant rate), El Salvador (250 decided, 22.4% grant rate), and Bolivia (148 decided, 12.8% 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 Other procedural outcomes, including terminated, withdrawn, administratively closed, or removed cases, are tracked separately where available and are not treated as asylum grants.
