How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Lorianne Campanella is listed with the Arlington, VA Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 27.9% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Honduras (313 decided, 17.3% grant rate), El Salvador (312 decided, 20.2% grant rate), and Bolivia (200 decided, 9.5% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
