How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Pallavi S. Shirole is listed with the Baltimore, MD Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 10.4% 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 (625 decided, 5.1% grant rate), Guatemala (454 decided, 4.8% grant rate), and El Salvador (378 decided, 9.3% 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 Other procedural outcomes, including terminated, withdrawn, administratively closed, or removed cases, are tracked separately where available and are not treated as asylum grants.
