How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Mexico (1,292 decided, 3.6% grant rate), Honduras (502 decided, 1.2% grant rate), and Guatemala (366 decided, 0.3% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
