How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Jeannette Lim Park is listed with the Van Nuys, CA Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 19.9% 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 (958 decided, 23.5% grant rate), Guatemala (422 decided, 8.1% grant rate), and El Salvador (270 decided, 17.4% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
