How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Luciana Dubuc is listed with the Chelmsford, MA Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 1.4% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Brazil (102 decided, 2.0% grant rate), Dominican Republic (81 decided, 1.2% grant rate), and Guatemala (66 decided, 0.0% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
