How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Sherease R. Pratt is listed with the Arlington, VA Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 11.5% 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 (439 decided, 6.2% grant rate), El Salvador (278 decided, 12.6% grant rate), and Guatemala (235 decided, 8.9% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
