How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Christopher M. Greer is listed with the Salt Lake City, UT Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 17.2% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
